String Theory Tested, Fails Black Hole Predictions

Back in 2006 there was a lot of talk of testing String Theory. Well, today CERN released a statement for the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment. The short of it is simply that as far as they could tell, 'No experimental evidence for microscopic black holes has been found.' The long statement indicates that since the highly precise CMS detector found no spray of sub-atomic particles of normal matter while LHC smashed particles together, the hypothesis by string theory that micro black holes would be formed and quickly evaporated in this experiment was incorrect. These tests have given the team confidence to say that they can exclude a 'variety of theoretical models' for the cases of black holes with a mass of 3.5-4.5 TeV. While you may not be able to run around claiming that string theory is dead and disproved, evidently there are some adjustments that need to be made.  (Source: Slashdot)
