4 gravitons is a personal blog at 4gravitons.com about science and ai. Since 2019, 13 different Hacker News readers have linked it 19 times, most often “LHC Black Holes for the Terminally Un-Reassured”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-30, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link 4 gravitons for physics explainers, including a post on simulated wormholes that one commenter found helpful for understanding a linked article. Other comments only discuss black hole physics.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
That's a rather uncharitable judgement based on just one article... Also in case others struggled to understand what the linked article is talking about, I found this one very helpful: https://4gravitons.com/2022/12/09/simulated-wormholes-for-my...

HN discussionIn addition to what the other reply points out (that the LHC and such are not sufficient to produce a black hole), another calculation I've seen shows that, even if it had produced a black hole with mass given by the energy of these collisions, and even if these black holes had started at rest with respect to the earth, and like, fallen into the earth (and started oscillating around the center), and if they did not…
