It will give us a better understanding of how matter and energy interact in nature. It could aid in the development of many technologies, especially those that may allow us to colonize space. This is a very important goal since science tells us that this solar system has a limited lifespan, about 50 million years more. It sounds like a lot of time now, but it's not. If humanity is going to make it for the long haul, we need to start preparing now.

The black hole stuff is nonsense. I'm excited about the super collider and what advances will come from the research invovled. Besides, they've already run it and guess what - the world is still whole and CERN Switzerland still exists.

What risk? A black hole is merely a theoretical construct. We certainly don't know how to create one. The fame seekers who introduced this idea don't know what it takes to create a black hole, or even if they are real.
