I believe doing something, just for the sake of doing it, is reckless.
They are not dropping baking soda in a vinegar filled test tube, Kang, they are violently tearing apart the most powerful and unknown units in the known universe.
Aren't their own words something to the effect of creating the same conditions the split second after the Big Bang?
That doesn't sound 'harmless' at all.

Every post you make on any subject remotely related to science just exposes your ignorance, not only on the subject matter, but also on science itself, and the scientific process.
Like I said above, if they knew exactly what was going to happen, why would they conduct the experiment? In cases like this, they have mathematical models, mathematical predictions, as to what should happen. They run the experiment to confirm or deny their mathematical predications. If they confirm one, or some, of the predictions, then they have reason to believe that the other predictions that the models make are correct. If they don’t confirm the predictions, then they have to start over with new mathematical models. But they won’t know until they run the experiment.
If we never did things just for the sack of doing it, we probably would have never invented fire. If fire were to be invented today, I can see people like you shouting about the dangers of such a horrible, uncontrollable thing. You’d fear it would burn up the entire world. You would claim it was the work of the devil. You would claim that unless we knew exactly what would happen, we should never ignite that very first fire.
There are always “experts” that predict doom and gloom for things like this. They predicted doom and gloom for travelling to the moon, for the Manhattan project and other such experiments. They have always been wrong, and they are wrong this time.
As for the safety concerns of a micro black hole: remember, the gravitational pull of an object is directly proportional to its mass. The mass of a micro black hole, say one or two subatomic particles, is very very small. The gravitational pull of such an object will be trillions and trillions of times less than say, the computer monitor you are looking at right now.
Again, just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
