I don't mind if it swallows the solar sytem as long as it's quick and painless.
Falling into a black hole will not be quick (for the falling object, does it not take forever?) and I don't know how painless being spaghettified is.
Yes but my hope is that it will also alter the speed of time making it seem like an instant. It might be over before we have time to process it, and by then we won't exist to remember it.
Another possibility is that whatever happens to the matter, we being part of that matter won't even detect that we are being shrunk and altered etc and will just continue on our merry way. Maybe that happens to us regularly.
I'm sure that we are not going to be sucked into a black hole; even if the LHC does manage to create a small black hole it's life span will be so short it can't do any damage. It takes massive amounts of energy to create a black hole and the human race has no way of generating that much energy... so I think we're safe for the time being!

Its some source of comfort that if a black hole is created Switzerland gets sucked in first
(anyone watching that? I thought it was great when it first started but now its predictabley dragging on and on and on and on). Maybe thats what happened in the series-a giant collider machine went wrong.Maybe we'll all have 'fast forward' moments
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment on the French-Swiss border has set a new world record for energy.
The LHC pushed the energy of its particle beams beyond one trillion electron volts, making it the world's highest energy particle accelerator.
The previous record was held by the Tevatron particle accelerator in Chicago.
Officials say it is another milestone in the LHC's drive towards its main scientific tests set for 2010.
The LHC is designed to smash together beams of sub-atomic particles to just under the speed of light. Researchers hope to see signs of new physics in the aftermath of the collisions, helping them unlock the secrets of the Universe.
Operated by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (better known by its French acronym Cern), the LHC is built inside a 27km-long circular tunnel.
'Pilot beam'
"We are still coming to terms with just how smoothly the LHC commissioning is going," said Cern's director general Rolf Heuer.
"It is fantastic. However, we are continuing to take it step-by-step, and there is still a lot to do before we start physics in 2010. I'm keeping my champagne on ice until then."
Until now the LHC had been operating at a relatively low energy of 450 billion electron volts.
On Sunday, engineers increased the energy of this "pilot beam", reaching 1.18 trillion electron volts at 2344 GMT.
The previous record of 0.98 trillion electron volts has been held by the Tevatron accelerator since 2001.
The LHC is eventually expected to operate at some seven trillion electron volts.
Last week, the machine circulated two beams of protons for the first time and carried out its first low-energy beam collisions.
Researchers working on the collider have said they are delighted with the quick progress made since the machine restarted on 21 November.
The LHC had to be shut down for repairs shortly after its inauguration in September 2008 when an electrical fault cause one tonne of liquid helium to leak into the collider's tunnel.
Has the elusive 'God particle' finally been found? Physicists around the globe are waiting for CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, to divulge its latest update regarding the hunt for the Higgs boson during a seminar on Wednesday morning.
