Comment by Otto E. Rössler

Human avatar
German chemist and chaos theorist associated with the University of Tübingen who publicly warned about LHC black-hole risks.
Black holes DO NOT EVAPORATE — hence they can only grow. [...] Inside matter, a resident black hole will not grow linerally but rather — via self-organization — form a so-called “miniquasar”: an electro-gravitational engine that grows exponentially, hence shrinking the earth to 2 cm in a few years time.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: Rössler explicitly claims LHC-created black holes do not evaporate, can grow, and could shrink Earth, so the quote directly addresses collider destruction risk. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 2h ago

Vote answer comments

AI Verified Correct answer is against: Rössler says black holes do not evaporate, can only grow, and may shrink Earth, so the no-credible-risk statement is contradicted. · Hector Perez Arenas gpt-5 · 2h ago
