The giant particle collider’s switch is about to be flicked. We are doomed. Why didn’t we listen.
The skeptics theorize that a byproduct of the collisions could be micro black holes, subatomic versions of collapsed stars whose gravity is so strong they can suck in planets and other stars.
We’re going to get sucked into a mini-black hole just like in those Looney Tunes cartoons where a house implodes into a small hole then takes the rest of the cartoon world with it.

Just popped in through Damian Daily & want to soothe your fears a little. You need a LOT of mass to create a damage-doing black hole. More mass imploding in on itself than our sun. Gravity is not a strong force on the quantum level, so we should be safe as houses….
…Or on the bright side, we won’t know what hit us.
