New FCC will create a black hole

SCIENTISTS have discovered black holes are easier to create than previously thought, meaning the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) super-sized successor will be powerful enough to spawn one.

The existing LHC is already a whopping 27 kilometres in length but the next one will range from 80 to 100 kilometres, it has been revealed. The LHC 2.0, or Future Circular Collider (FCC), will revolutionise the world of physics when it is up and running, and build on the work of its predecessor. It will produce the power of 10 MILLION lightning strikes - enough energy to create a devastating black hole. Researchers have discovered that it actually takes 2.4 times less energy to create a black hole, and with a more powerful particle collider, some fear that one could be accidentally made in the lab. A black hole requires less energy than previously thought When particles smash into one another, their gravitational pull is trapped, meaning researchers could make one at the LHC 2.0. If enough energy is contained between those particles, it can collapse that could create two black holes that quickly merge into one.
