Maybe not the actual referenced article, but its close:
https://www.livescience.com/black-hole-analog-confirms-hawking.html
While the study was testing for a specific kind of energy radiated by an artificial micro black hole...
What's being glossed over is the broad concept and implications of Hawking Radiation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation
Simply put, a tiny micro black hole will evaporate itself out of existence quite rapidly.
There is no danger of such a thing growing and consuming everything like an expanding katamari damacy ball.
Damn.
Thought we had an out.. Nope we got to tackle fascism and climate change the hard way
Na na na na na na Katamari
Disappointed beyond measure. :(
Yeah, until we get a micro black hole that's piloted by a competent Katamari player, then it's over!
We know this because after testing it the micro blackhole did in fact fizzle out. /joke
If only it could suck up a few specific people before evaporating itself out of existence.
