Since we're hung up on terminology, black holes don't suck, just like the Earth doesn't suck you in. You fall in to black holes, just like the Earth makes you fall, since they're both using gravity.


...unless you pay them.

They accrete matter.

We haven't fallen into the black hole at the center of our galaxy just like we haven't been forced into the sun we orbit in this solar system. But if just one black hole the size of a quarter were to fall into the Earth as a result of this how long would it take until monumental change would occur on its surface, its orbit, its density and gravity, tidal changes, ect. That's just if one small one was created, and who's to say it wouldn't grow over time to becomes a much more serious threat.

All hail Jacko Master Physicist!

If a centimeter-sized black hole is the entire mass of the Earth, then a quarter-sized black hole would logically be more than the mass of the entire Earth. Where is all this extra mass coming from? The moon?

If a black hole collapses matter, then it could just destroy the matter around it.

The threat isn't the outcome, but the possible outcome. If it were the likely outcome it would have never been turned on.

Rössler's work has shown that a micro-black hole could accrete the earth within 50 months.

How the hell does one test this?

oh come on Lum have some fun.

I'll try but I'm not making any promises.
