RIP String theory?

Slashdot notes:

CERN has released a statement for the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment. The short of it is simply that as far as they could tell "No experimental evidence for microscopic black holes has been found." The long statement indicates that since the highly precise CMS detector found no spray of sub-atomic particles of normal matter while LHC smashed particles together, the hypothesis by String Theory that micro black holes would be formed and quickly evaporated in this experiment was incorrect.


so bye bye string theory...or maybe not...

Does this mean CERN won't destroy the earth?
