Brane world models in string theory suggest that our universe is a slice, or `brane', of a higher-dimensional space-time.

In this talk we will discuss why one consequence of these models is that copious numbers of mini black holes may be formed by collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We will describe how these mini black holes are created, and what happens to them once they have been produced. In particular, we discuss why these black holes will not swallow up the entire Earth.

Professor Elizabeth Winstanley of the University of Sheffield, UK, presents this free public lecture - The Claire Corani Memorial Lecture - as part of the Women in Physics Lecture Tour by the Australian Institute of Physics and Women in Physics Group, a National Science Week Event supported by the Government of South Australia.
