question
Would stable micro black holes produced by LHC collisions destroy Earth?
statement
Even if stable TeV-scale black holes exist and are produced at the LHC, in every viable TeV-gravity scenario their accretion of Earth is either far too slow to matter within the solar lifetime, or the scenario is excluded by observed white-dwarf/neutron-star survival - no risk of any significance.
