Do you believe there is a reasonable chance at all that the Large Hadron Collider will really form a black hole that will eat up our Earth?

None at all. If it did succeed in creating a quantum singularity, that would not be a black hole, but a white hole that would vaporize CERN. Just read your Stephen Hawking.

No, there isn't. If you believe those theories that say that a black hole could be created, you would know that related theories say they would do nothing at all. Besides, why hasn't cosmic radiation created black holes all over the place already, if the LHC will be able to do so? Unless of course those black holes are harmless and will disappear instantly

I admit that I am scared about this possibility. But then again, I am a damned fool about sciency stuff. I have a high-level, liberal arts degree. (Lol. So don't go counting on ME for this one!)

I don't have the knowledge to say if it will or not, but among those smart enough to know, it seems most of them agree it won't.

1) It already did, in a parallel universe. 2) No. "The upcoming experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have sparked fears among the public that the LHC particle collisions might produce doomsday phenomena, including dangerous microscopic black holes and strange matter. Two CERN-commissioned safety reviews have examined these concerns and concluded that the experiments at the LHC present no danger and that there is no reason for concern, a conclusion expressly endorsed by the American Physical Society, the world's second largest organization of physicists."
