his peer re&ie2ed article discusses the panic created from the particle accelerator at
C3(* C3(' is a laboratory near )ene&a' S2it4erland and 2as created for global
cooperation but has' in a 2ay scared people a2ay from it* here is a $5km circular
particle accelerator located inside the facility* here are 2orries that the accelerator
could potentially create a small black hole' 2hich could cause mass destruction of the
surrounding area' or possibly e&en the entire country* he article continues to go in depth
about the situation at the C3(' but rather ho2 many people find the idea that a black
hole could be created by this particle accelerator contro&ersial' or disturbing* he authors
for this article are all either researchers or are 2orking on their Ph*.*6s' so 7 belie&e this
source is pretty reliable* Ho2e&er' 7 am not sure if 7 2ill be using this article' there does
not seem to touch on ho2 e8actly the accelerator could cause a black hole* although 7
may pull a fe2 9uotes from this article*

a gra"itationall# colla$sing star II% &ireorks instead of fireallsthat it is impossible for
a black hole to be created* his is a huge re&elation' for decades' 2e ha&e been trying to
figure out ho2 black holes are created' ho2 to study them and ho2 2e could possibly
create the* What if they did not e8ist? his 2ould mean there is no possible 2ay to
create one' if it does not e8ist* According to :reeman' the science community is shocked'
e&en .r* aura Mersini,Houghton herself' finds it hard to digest* his article is &ery
interesting' 7 find the Huffington post to be decently reliable' especially 2hen they are
reporting on the 2ork of people .r* aura Mersini,Houghton* So' 7 think 7 2ill be using
this article and .r* aura Mersini,Houghton6s paper as a resource for the counter
argument that creating black holes is not e&en feasible.

his page on the (ASA 2ebsite' defines 2hat a black hole is and 2hat the current' most
accepted theory on ho2 they are created is* rikson takes the scientific 2ay of
e8plaining 2hat a black hole is and ho2 it is made and simplifies it so a simple man
could understand it* he most useful part about this page' is the fact it has se&eral links
on the most recent disco&eries relating to black holes' all of 2hich ha&e ob&iously been
appro&ed by (ASA' or they 2ould not be on their 2ebsite* (ASA is highly respected
and has a high le&el of integrity that being said' this is a reliable 2ebsite because (ASA
2ould not do anything to destroy their reputation' especially since 7 think they are going
to be looking at the pri&ate industry for funding' because the go&ernment cut their space
program* 7 2ill be using this source in my 7P' becaue of ho2 reliable it is and ho2 it

science.
Pacella' 3ena Marie +Man,Made Black Holes/EBS()host anuary $!!D- n* pag* Web*
$! 0ctober $!15
his isa transcript is a readingon the theory that there are many many many
small black holes that pop in and out' tearing through our space time* he most
useful part of this transcript to me is the fact Pacella refers to making our o2n
mini black holes inside the C3( particle accelerator that 7 mentioned earlier in
my first annotation* Pacella belie&es that if 2e crash t2o protons together fast
enough' 2e could make a e8ceptionally small' harmless black hole* Why is it
harmless? Because it is so small and has so little matter' it fades out of e8istence
before it can absorb any matter' +tearing/ through space time as it does so*
Pacella says if 2e can create a black hole this 2ay' it almost single handedly
sho2s that another dimension e8ists* Pacella is the author of many other articles
forPo$ular Science so it is &ery safe to say she is reliable and 7 2ill in fact' be
using this source' e&en if it is almost a decade old .
7t 2as good o&erallE Ho2e&er' you need about a 2hole other page for the
assignment* ust elaborate on the parts about 2hether you think the source is
reliable or not and if you are going to use it in your 7P or not* ast' Fust elaborate
some and refine some of the things in your summary part of it*
