Firstly Wagner is concerned that careless atom boffins might slip up and create a miniature black hole. This would then suck in surrounding mass, gaining unstoppably in size and power in a runaway process until it had engulfed the entire Earth and packed it down inside its swelling, unescapable event horizon.
[ Just another aspect of the Kali Yuga. Adolf Hitler refused to test the atom bomb because of the fears by top scientists that it risked setting the Earth's atmosphere on fire. But humans always make the wrong decisions. Perhaps "intelligent" life always ends at the point when it creates one of these particle accelerators, and all that remains to mark their existence are various black holes in the universe. Not a subject to mock. ]
