      Stephen Hawking calculated all black holes should emit radiation, and that tiny black holes should lose more mass than they absorb, evaporating within a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, “before they could gobble up any significant amount of matter,”. Basically the collider does not produce dangerous ones as they are planned to be starved before they can get to dangerous
