A summary
So, the collider project was the crowning achievement of my career. (Still pissed about it getting blown up, but whatever, I can say that until I'm blue in the face.)
But fuck it, it still ran and it still gave me data and I'm still going to claim the results, so here goes.

Oh, wait, did you expect me to post my actual data?? HAHA NO. You're getting a summary, because I'll be damned if I post my actual data on a public-facing report log. Fuck you. Read about it in the paper I'll eventually publish, with my name on it. I am not going to let people just nick everything I've been working for.
But here you go. Things my collider has suggested or proved:
You can make micro black holes with as little energy as 9.4 tera-electronvolts (TeV) (aka, you can make them in a sufficiently powerful collider). (The LHC has a max design capability of 6.5 TeV per beam so far. My collider was supposed to start at 4.5 TeV and scale up to 8 TeV after upgrades (for a total of 16 TeV).)
Micro black holes exist. (These are just tiny, tiny black holes. Theyāre actually quite safe, so long as you arenāt standing near them. They pop into existence, then evaporate (see below) and disappear.)
Thereās more than three spatial dimensions. (Also see here.) (Considering only three spatial dimensions, the āblack hole thresholdā is WAY too high, and you wonāt be able to make a black hole of any size in a TeV-capable collider. The Planck mass (a natural unit of mass derived from only natural constants) is indicated to be a minimum limit on black hole masses - and the calculations just donāt allow black holes in the TeV range when using only three dimensions plus time. So, in order for black holes to be possible in the TeV range, you have to have a way to scale gravity in a way thatās stronger than in our three spatial dimensions. Otherwise, you wonāt have the right conditions for a black hole. With more than three spatial dimensions (personally, I prefer M-theory, a version of string theory which favors ten spatial dimensions plus time), gravity can operate throughout ALL those dimensions, and can scale differently, lowering the āblack hole thresholdā into the TeV range.)
Gravity works in more than 3 dimensions. (In order for everything above to work, gravity has to permeate more than three dimensions in order to actually scale properly.) (Additionally, the fact that appearing and collapsing black holes can āgrab ontoā space enough to shred it indicates that gravity does indeed affect space itself.)
Black holes do indeed evaporate. (This has been accepted for a long time - Hawking proposed it in the 70ās, hence why itās often referred to as Hawking radiation. The old idea that ānothing escapes a black holeā? Thatās a trick statement, because technically, black holes DO radiate stuff, and lose mass and energy when they do. (hence the nickname āevaporationā). Weāve never had experimental proof of it before, but now, we know from looking at the data from the colliderās test runs that the micro black holes DID indeed evaporate and disappear in a flash of energy.)
More evidence that gravitons should be a thing. (String theories predicted a graviton, a subatomic elementary particle that regulates gravity.)
Warping space can shred the fabric of spacetime. (This is where the magic happens! The collider creates streams of micro black holes, which have gravitational pull and ābendā space a little bit. Then, the micro black hole disappears, and space snaps back. However, if you have a ton of micro black holes doing that, itās pulling space in all sorts of rather violent directions all at once, and actually rips the space. Thatās where the dimensional āportalā opens up.)
Space is, indeed, elastic to some degree - either that, or it can move fluidly enough that it looks like itās healing the tears. (The dimensional āportalsā were only open while the collider was on, and closed up when the collider turned off.)
Space DOES seem to have some form of āsurface tensionā or resistive buoyancy - possibly gravity? - that pushes back. (When the original Parker got pushed into the beam by Green Goblin, it took effort to hold him there, as if he were being pushed back.)
Parallel universes exist.
Different laws of physics exist in those universes. (This oneās a little bit less hard-proven and a little more āstrongly suggested,ā in that the spidersā glitching seems to almost be on an atomic level, hinting at different underlying base physics.)
Thereās some as-of-yet unnamed phenomenon which allows parallel-universe āversionsā of a person to be summoned by throwing DNA into the collider beam.
I could think of more, but I think thatās enough stuff for today.
Footnotes: Hey folks! Long time, no see!
First things first, don't take anything here as truth. This is a lot more speculative fiction!
Second, I'm not starting this blog up again. I don't have the time for it - each post typically took days to weeks to research and write, even though they're short posts, and while I loved writing them, I just can't fit it in.
However, I found this in my drafts today - it's been sitting here since 2019! - and I'm not sure why I never posted it. It's something I remember putting a LOT of work into, though, and someone might find it interesting! I remember I wanted to list out possible things that Liv's collider experiments would have implications for, and there's a number of things here about the fictional collider's functions that I hadn't gotten to touch on.
Honestly, I don't thoroughly remember enough to vet the concepts fully as of today, but it's all fictional anyway. Like I said, don't take anything here as truth! If one could operate a collider like Livās, and get those particular results, then itās POSSIBLE it would imply things, BUT in OUR universe, they havenāt been proven (and, again, I'm not a physicist! I'm a hobbyist armed with books and Google, and there's a high chance I've misinterpreted things here or there).

Concepts that already existed: These are generally accepted as either a "thing" or "viable theory" by physicists. Micro black holes, Hawking radiation, more than 3 dimensions, gravitons, M-theory.
Concepts that already existed, but are kind of shaky: making micro black holes in a collider, parallel universes.
Concepts that I totally made up based on the movie (and thinking way too hard about things): shredding spacetime, space having surface tension, different laws of physics in parallel universes, the āas-of-yet unnamed phenomenonā of the last one.
VoilĆ”! If anyone has questions about any of the science here, feel free to shoot me a message or an ask! Iāve tried pretty hard to include real-life info to build off of, and to clearly indicate what parts Iām just making up!
