Uh. None, since we wouldn’t know until it happened, but it would be interesting afterwards if it didn’t. Obama would join the Pope and ban all nuclear physics henceforth. If we were meant to make black holes we all would………(here I start doubting if I should continue)…

How do we know a black hole can’t establish some kind of equilibrium as it absorbs the matter around it? (Maybe only briefly, but enough for observers to see that this one isn’t going away.) There could be time for a warning, for whatever good it would do.
