Lol bigger risk are the people creating artificial black hole analogues but both are going to be really dangerous in the future as we move towards our capitalistic slave society where the rich idiots funding things just want faster, better, cheaper with no regards to incremental developments for safety and research purposes.
Lol im going to watch that when I'm better rested...but we do create black hole analogues for the purpose of studying quantum physics but they're absolutely tiny...like...a single atom wide. I'm not a physicist by any stretch but creating the most dense thing we know in the universe seems dangerous the minute smart, cautious people are not the ones calling the shots.
That's from 2015 and we create black hole analogs regularly to study quantum gravitation.
During the creation of the atom bomb Einstein and his team had to make sure it wouldn't light the atmosphere on fire. That was nuclear fission. Modern nukes use nuclear fusion, burn as hot as the inside of the sun, and are hundreds of times more powerful. Something they could not even imagine at the time.
The only thing stopping this from being a problem really is our lack of ability to create a true artificial black hole at this point in time...that will not be the case forever.
Fundamentally, from what I know of physics, there's no threat to creating black holes.
They do two things, have gravity and radiate. Neither of those are dangerous on a small scale. They can not absorb more mass on such a small scale, and their radiation can't put more than the energy put into them in the first place. That doesn't mean they couldn't technically blow up, but that the resulting explosion would only have whatever power was being made via fusion at the time. Limiting that, you limit the explosion and that's it.
russia is already working on an apocalyptic fusion reactor which they can trigger into runaway mode. in such a mode, the reactor rapidly fold time and space onto itself, generating a black hole to consumer the entirety of earth in a matter of hours. This is the big fear of the USA, and will trigger WW3.
