Professor of physics at the University of Chicago quoted by AFP on Large Hadron Collider safety in 2022.
Particles are hitting the atmosphere of the Earth all the time at much higher energies than we can create in the laboratory. If a black hole is being created in the lab, it means it is being created in the atmosphere all the time.

Disputed AFP article and CERN safety text support the cosmic-ray argument, but this stored sentence is not verbatim in the source and reads as a paraphrase/composite. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 20d ago
