What exactly does it take to shatter the isolation that we currently enjoy from co-existing alternate realities and is it even remotely possible we would be able to do it. The short answer is yes it is.

Good points related to expanding the safety arguments that have evaporated. In detail, these are the issues referred to in the statement, new risk assumptions:

Possibility of Micro Black Hole Production

NO, Not Possible: by 1999 Review of Speculative Disaster Scenarios at RHIC In no case has any phenomenon suggestive of gravitational clumping, let alone gravitational collapse or the production of a singularity, been observed” … “but for the foreseeable future values even remotely approaching unity are a pipe dream”

YES, Possible: by CERN … microscopic black holes could be produced in the collisions at the LHC”

YES, Possible: by CERN Courier the 14 TeV centre-of-mass energy of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) could allow it to become a black-hole factory with a production rate as high as about one per second”

Assumption that Hawking Radiation is Valid

YES, Assumed by CERN Black holes lose matter … via a process discovered by Stephen Hawking. Any black hole … that might be produced at the LHC, will shrink, evaporate and disappear”

NO, Not Assumed by LSAG “At the LHC, some {MBH} … could start growing””

NO, Not Assumed by Dr. Adam D. Helfer no compelling theoretical case for or against radiation by black holes”

NO, Not Assumed by Dr. William G. Unruh and Prof. Ralf Schützhold Therefore, whether real black holes emit Hawking radiation or not remains an open question”

NO, Not Assumed by Prof. V.A. Belinski …the effect {Hawking Radiation} does not exist.”

Assumption that Cosmic Rays Impacts with Earth prove safety:

YES, Assumed by CERN Since the much higher-energy collisions provided by Nature for billions of years have not harmed the Earth, there is no reason to think that any phenomenon produced by the LHC will do so.”

NO, Not Assumed by LSAG Problems with using “cosmic rays hitting the Earth” to rule out Black Holes” … they fly through the Earth like a neutrino

Both sides are stating opposing safety and legal positions, and counter concerns also exist with respect to safety statements making implications of unconfirmed, unsupported and refuted assertions:
: Evidence refutes [1.1] [1.1] the veracity of statement part 1.
1. “”… physicists in general do not question the assumption that black holes are generally unstable””
: Evidence refutes [2.1] [2.2] the veracity of statement part 2.
2. “”… and those few who have pointed out issues with Hawking radiation were only attempting to achieve a more rigorous proof of it.””
And statement 3. is not supported by a released safety report, only by a public information web page [3.1] and ‘draft’ safety outline [3.2] and is credibly refuted [3.3].
3 “”… even if micro black holes were created and were stable, they would pose no reasonable threat to the Earth during its remaining 5 billion years of existence.””
