I thought they were designing a new super collider for that very purpose? i have been hearing an awful lot about 'mini black holes' in the press in the Last 12 months or so. or is that a different principal that is being discussed in the popular science rags these days? I recall them also theorizing that they could use a laser to create mini-black holes.. probably in effect by adding energy to photons, id guess.
