That is what a scientist said about the experiment they are planning on as well as this:For the first time in many decades we have built a machine that exceeds our powers of prediction.

Thats true but black holes suck items in over long distances. Though if there are mini ones, Im not worried about being sucked up..maybe if I work near that thing...Set wrote:No, I'm not worried.
A black hole won't suck in everything in the universe. You have to be within a certain distance of it for it to pull. If you're not in the field of gravity you're fine. Even if there are mini black holes created by this thing, the field will be so small as to not even tug on your hair if you're within three feet of the thing.
Think of space as a flat plane, and a black hole as a dent in that plane. You won't fall into the hole unless you're close enough to slide down the edge of the dent.
I've already ranted about that particular subject once, and I'm not going to bother with it again. I'm merely going to point out that's a VERY BAD analogy to use. If you ask me, man ended up better off, for man was no longer merely an ignorant slave that he was before eating from the tree.Fang wrote:This is the same thing that happened in the garden, God said don't touch the fruit of the tree of knowlege, and man not only touched it, but ate it and ended off worse
Set, a black hole created out of this machine would not swallow up the whole universe, that is physically impossible, yet a black hole can pull things twards it from farther distances away. Take for example the black hole that is at the center of our, and hypothesized to be one at the middle of all the galxies. How else would one stay together and continue spiraling without some supermassive gravitational force pulling everything twards it? Back to this story though, A small black hole could very easily destroy the whole planet. Since one of this size might be stable enough to not dissipate, (many microscopic black holes have been made in labs, but these evaporate due to the amount of mass not being enough to sustain it) it would be pulled twards the earth collecting all the matter that passes throught its event horizon as it fell through, and continue falling through the plannet then being pulled back until it had enough matter to hold it in place at the center of the Earth where it would slowly pull the planet into it self.Set wrote:No, I'm not worried.

What the heck? He cant even get Hawking right.
For one thing, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking calculated all black holes should emit radiation, and that tiny black holes should lose more mass than they absorb, evaporating within a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second,
It can't pull anything any further than a similarly massed object that isn't a black hole could. That's not how gravity works. If the Sun turned into a black hole right now, the only thing we'd notice 8 minutes later (c ftw) is that it got very dark. Mass is mass, and the volume that this mass is in has no effect on the amount of gravitational attaraction.Short Tail wrote: Set, a black hole created out of this machine would not swallow up the whole universe, that is physically impossible, yet a black hole can pull things twards it from farther distances away.
He doesn't have to specifically say anything about man-made black holes. If they obey the same laws as normal ones do, (and there's nothing to say that they wouldn't) then they will emit Hawking radiation at a rate consistant with the his equations. There's nothing doctored about that.Short Tail wrote:What the heck?

Hawking did indeed calculate that black holes emit radiation, but he never said anything about man made black holes. I remeber that chapter in the book and it never mentioned tiny black holes. I dont feel good about scientist basing their research off quotes that they doctored themselves...

Yeah, that's really the task of automated software.Figarou wrote: GASP!!! Thats a lot of pictures!! I can do it, but it'll take time. Lots of time.
Err....ummmmm....to much time.
Naaa...I have another project I need to finish 1st.
