 In 2008, a group of LHC(Large Hadron Collider) critics filed a
suit against CERN in the European Court of Human Rights, in
Strasbourg, who feel that the operation of the $10 billion LHC
near Geneva, poses grave risks for the safety and well-being of
the 27 member states of the European Union and their citizens.
According to them, the LHC could create a black hole at the
surface of the Earth, or create a weird and for now, hypothetical

rejected the idea saying that even if the collider could produce
these materials, they would decay too quickly to cause any harm.

shows a fictional story where these materials are unintentionally
created at the Large Hadron Collider and escape from it to
destroy the Earth.
Name the material.
