Aun así el experimento probó a Mr. Wagner, no al Brookhaven laboratory. Puesel resultado de los experimentos fue "una sorpresa perfecta" (sci-am may 2000, brookhaven bulletin).

… my various blogs) over the years may be aware, this connection is allowing the development a striking number of techniques relevant to actual heavy ion phenomenology — and carries no risk to the 4-dimensional world (which someone should have told the BBC in early 2005…).  Of course, we’re all hoping that the extra dimensions actually have some ontological status beyond being a mere mathematical trick, but time will tell. Anyway, there we had it: three kinds of black hole physics, all of which are probably …

… is beyond anything previously possible in the scientific community, primarily due to available technology; however, the nature of the ‘evaporating’ black holes as described in the article almost hints at behavior noted in a 2005 finding atBrookhaven National Laboratoryin New York. In that particular case, researchers had produced a fireball within the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider that, while lasting only “10 million, billion, billionths of a second,” seemingly exhibited the characteristics of a black hole. …
