The death dance of spiral galaxies

It is known that galaxies collide over billions of years, to lead the super massive black holes at their centers merge into a single black hole. In the whole process, a tremendous impact kinetic energy converts to mass. This results in a tiny kinetic mass concentrating in an impossibly small space.

Ah! All seems to be known well enough to manufacture a black hole in a lab - all that a crazy scientist, satisfied of knowing the formation of a black hole can do.

Though, it is a science fiction for now, it may very soon be created in a lab. And, its not just one but thousands of black holes may one day be manufactured in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Never know, it may happen in just a year! Sounds exciting, isn’t it?

But, in the straightforward view of the universe where our three-dimensional space possesses no hidden dimensions, the universe shouldn’t be different. And, thus what is important is not if we can make a black hole in a lab, but that we should never make one.

However, the density of colliding protons in a lab, even though enormous, is not dense enough to create a black hole.

So, its not just that, scientists can’t create a black hole in a lab, but that they even need not try one.
