"Rift" Sets Its Hero Adrift
Just when you thought the world was safe from universe-destroying black holes, comes a nifty short film from L Studio called Rift that explores just such a scenario. It's described as "a surreal interpretation of Pandora's Box about a scientist whose failed experiment results in the formation of a black hole that alters time and space, creating a chaotic Twilight-Zonesque nightmare."
Our scientist/protagonist is actually correct when he says we have nothing to fear from these sorts of proton-proton collisions -- even if the fictional film events contradict that assertion. But Rift offers a creative visualization of what the end of the world might look like -- you know, on the off-chance the scientists might be wrong.

On the off chance that scientists might be wrong? Of course scientists are wrong, science couldn't progress otherwise. Relish the wrongness and ride the black hole wave into oblivion! Yee-ha!
we are all human so might be scientist be wrong.Of course, this is relevant because in the event of an LHC-created black hole destroying the planet, we will of course launch into space a "lifeboat" containing a judge, defense and plaintiff lawyers, Rusty the Bailiff to keep everyone in line, and one token normal person to be the plaintiff. Justice will be served no matter what the damage to the planet is!
