Welcome to SciForums, AlphaNumeric
If you are the person who posts at PhysOrg under that name, then you are completely clueless to my postings at SciForums. Your recent [January 6, 2008] join date, and few posts, show you to be very un-read in the doings here at SciForums. You would do well to show a little common courtesy before attempting to detract from someone whose posts here you've not even read. My posts at PhysOrg were fully supportable, but were not intended to be fully educational on the topic posted.
As I recall, I was stating in PhysOrg that cosmic rays that impact earth, if they create novel particles such as Micro Black Holes, would cause such novel particle to have a relatively high velocity [due to the high velocity of the incoming cosmic ray, and requirement for conservation of momentum]. This is standard physics, and if you have a problem with it, you need to explain yourself rather than merely mouth off.
Indeed, the idea that mini black holes travelling at high speed should transit earth [or other celestial body] relatively unimpeded, while gloming on to perhaps a few nucleons, is nothing new. Lots of physicists have postulated such, with good reason. Indeed, many still believe that such primordial black holes still exist, virtually undetectable due to their small diameter and blackness. Only if they exploded via Hawking radiation [rather like an H-bomb going off] might we detect them with the GLAST satellite. Those that happen to transit earth would simply pass right through, absorbing only those nucleons in their immediate path, which cross-section is extremely tiny due to the tiny Schwarzschild radius. We'll know more about that after the GLAST has obtained information in that regard.
If you've got a problem with that, perhaps you should state your problem.
Best regards,
