He admits this and even points out that there could very well be no economic benefits to the experiments. To me it sounds more like a smart kid pissing match.

Steven Hawking Wrote:However he pointed out that if the LHC were indeed to create minor black holes, his own work on the subject could be verified and he chould receive the highest acclaim in the field.
He said: "If the LHC were to produce little black holes, I don't think there is any doubt I would get a Nobel Prize, if they showed the properties I predict.
He goes on to state that humankind would basically be retarded if we didn't do this research, but never really gives a reason why.
