Artificial black holes: on the threshold of new physics

Despite the headline, there isn't really anything about crazy theories of, uh, craziness. Just a sort of informational editorial about scientists maybe being able to create really, really tiny black holes in a few years with next generation particle accelerators.

Anyway, just to scoop the (inevitable?) HA HA LOOK WE WILL BEST THE ROMULANS AT THEIR OWN GAME! thread.

Also, there's this book by Jonathan Lethem, who is one of my favorite novelists, called As She Climbed Across The Table, about an English professor in love with a physics researcher who is herself in love with a sentient "void" named Lack created in the lab. Lack is sort of a black hole, I think, but I haven't read the book. But I highly recommend it, just on reputation.

Plus, uh, if someone wants to buy me a copy...

A void named Lack..... how amusing....

I am willing to be to that Lack turns out to be a heartless, insensitive, empty bastard at the end of the book....
