| Jan 1, 2020 at 22:56 | comment | added | cmaster - reinstate monica | To create a black hole, you need to get a mass of at least some hundred tons into a space that's comparable to a proton in size, and you must do that within less than a second. Why? Because a black hole that only has 1 second left to live still weights 228 tons, and tries to explode with the force of 5 teratons of TNT. And the more mass you put in, the easier it becomes to make a black hole. The orders of magnitude of the involved numbers are mind-numbing. Most certainly, this can not be done by "focusing high energy beams onto the smallest point on which they can be focused". | |
