How unneccessary.

If we actually had a need for a temp of 2 billion Kelvin, then we really are very advanced nowadays. The only reason I could think of is to fill up a page in the Guiness Book.

I was bored, lol, and I calculated the Schwarzschild radius for a black hole of the Earth's mass. In other words, if we created a black hole that consumed the Earth, this is how big it would appear (which is the size of its event horizon):
Radius = .0088547956 meters
That's 8.8547956 millimeters
Hehe, so a basketball-sized black hole was a huge overestimation.

So in conclusion, if the black hole experiment goes wrong, we'll all be sucked into a tiny black sphere of a radius of about nine millimeters. The moon, however, will probably survive and continue to orbit us until we evaporate into antimatter particles sometime in the future. Of course, that is assuming that we don't get sucked out of the universe entirely.
Awesome

So basically, we all get to live on the moon.

That'll be fun for like 10 minutes, then we realize we don't have any food and start eating each other and eventually die... I think I'd prefer the black hole then.
UNLESS the moon really is made out of cheese.
