I can't wait! Flip the switch already!
I don't think humans should have the right to do these kinds of things...
Undecided
First let me start with point out a) is false. Being pulled in equal but opposite directions only allows for a rip if force isn't exerted equally throughout the entire system (however with a black hole force would be exerted to all of my body, not just pieces). |

Take a physics class before calling people 'fucking morons', you pretentious cock. |

I wrote a big long post in response to Drew, but then I saw Xie responded with basically what I said... |
|
The effects are still incredibly minimal at relatively small distances. Bear in mind that any black holes created wouldn't actually have a mass greater than Earth, and the difference in force caused by the inverse square law that we experience because of the length of our bodies on Earth itself is very tiny. |

Ha! Google has a LHC themed logo today. |

- Are you an idiot?
- No sir, I'm a dreamer.
He also said they would be tiny. |
|
I meant that there gravitational force would be tiny. |

Things are not as they seem
I'm just answering/correcting your points. I assumed you didn't know that much because your string example was so inappropriate, but if you do then hey. |
|
Could you have a black hole of several hundred pounds? I always thought they needed enough mass to create a gravitational field strong enough to 'suck in' light. Unless with a several hundred pound black hole, it just had a really small event horizon. |

As I said, black holes only have large masses in nature because that is required to make a star shrink to zero size. |
|
That's exactly right. The radius of the event horizon is a function of mass. And if you plug in the numbers, you will see that it's very small indeed. Actually, let me do that. |

Snap. |

If a black hole of low mass (a few thousand kg or something) was close enough to a planet, would it just suck in mass from the planet and become even more massive, and thus increase it's event horizon radius and increase it's range of devouring more mass and growing even more? That sounds too badass. |

A few thousand kg black hole wouldn't be able to encounter matter in such high density that it would be able to stave off its own evaporation. Even if it was encased in solid critical mass uranium it probably wouldn't stand a chance of expanding. It might survive in the core of a star or large planet like Jupiter, maybe. |
|
So you're saying that for a small black hole, the matter here on earth would not be dense enough to allow it to grow? Would it just suck in everything in its range that it could, and then run out of stuff to eat that is close enough to gain mass fast enough to balance the loss of mass due to Hawking radiation? |

I beleive the point he's trying to make is that the black hole would be so small it could float in the spaces between atoms (or smaller still, in the spaces between the electron shells and the nucleus). At this scale it would never encounter matter dense enough to come into contact with it before it pops out of existence due to evaporation via Hawking Radiation. |
|
The point he's making is that Hawking radiation occurs faster for smaller black holes. This means that a smallish black hole would decay too quickly to keep existing, even if it had a constant supply of mass to guzzle. Personally I didn't know that Hawking radiation is so fast... |
