Will a black hole one day destroy the world?

Having a bad day? Well at least we haven't all been swallowed by a Black Hole.
Will a black hole one day destroy the world?

Before the Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland was first turned on in 2010 some believed it could have created a black hole that would swallow the earth.

The particle accelerator sped up protons to energies larger than we have ever observed and people were somewhat unsure about what would happen.

We're all still here for now, at least, but this fascinating video discusses the variety of black holes and how they could engulf our little blue dot.

Were we in danger from the Hadron Collider? Could the sun turn into a black hole, and is it too risky to harness black holes as a power source?

Watch to find out, just try not to panic.
