Science Fiction writers have loved black holes, ever since Einstein postulated their existence, because they were so far-fetched that you could imagine anything about them. Disney even placed a poor attempt at a Star Wars clone inside a black hole. (Ignoring the fact that a black hole is not really a "hole" at all, but just a REALLY massive object. And yes, the movie does have its charms. I love their droids.) Anyway, it appears that these astonomical mysteries are no longer quite so mysterious. A supercollider in New York may have created one by accident! If so, this may be VERY good news (i.e. we can learn a lot) or very bad news (i.e. if the black hole is not short-lived, it could do a lot of damage if it escapes containment).
Either way, this is a story on par with the "Cold Fusion" mania of a decade or so back. If it is true, it will change everything. If not, a lot of people will have egg on their faces. Not sure which one I am rooting for.
