"A atomic size blackhole wouldnt be such a big deal. just the same power of a few nuclear bombs"

[SammyJ_Studios]

That's pretty terrifying if you think about it. A tiny object we couldn't even see, let alone see coming, could destroy the world instantly.

[Nikeel_A.W]

"A few Hiroshima bombs"? Sir, a Hiroshima bomb will wipe out a city, you wiped out Europe!

[mesakat]

"Its not going to be able to sustain its blackholeness"

Anton, you're better than this.

[garcemac]

Actually, CERN can't create a black hole that would last for more than a trillionth of a second. A black hole needs a certain amount of mass (much larger than the mass of our own Sun) to come into existence.

If CERN can actually create stars ten times larger than our own Sun, then have them immediately collapse - I think black holes are the least of our worries.

[ShiverPike]

"Not that bad"

*Casually destroyed half the fucking planet*

[dominikpelzer]

Love your videos! Your videos are my inspiration to study astronomy!

[diitrii]

Black hole:
Succ Earth or Thrust Earth?

[andrewbowers]

"Hey Isis"
"Yes, America?"
"Check it out, we figured out how to make super powerful nuclear bombs! Here's all the equipment and research needed!"

[xZackx]

It's not overkill, something the size of a die hitting Earth at the speed of light would rip the planet in half

[CesareVesdani]

Is it possible to create a tiny black hole?

[fluffsune]

CERN deals with atomic particles... it has no where near the power for grams

[AlabasterJones]

I really like your videos and narration man. Super fascinating! Thank you

[tiagotiagot]

Actually, if CERN created any blackholes, they would be so small that they would fall thru the space between atoms, and evaporate before anyone noticed anything; it wouldn't be a big deal at all.

Actually, an Earth-massed blackhole would be very stable, lasting for trillions of years, rather than just a few days. That's because whether a blackhole evaporates away or stays stable depends on the relative temperature of the Hawking Radiation coming from the blackhole vs. the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation falling onto the blackhole from the rest of the universe. Currently the temperature of the CMBR is 2.7K, and any blackhole with a Hawking Temperature less than that, will be receiving more energy than it would lose in Hawking Radiation. The larger the blackhole the more stable it is, because larger blackholes have lower Hawking Temperatures than the CMBR temperature.

The magic blackhole mass needed to exactly balance out the outgoing Hawking Radiation vs. the incoming CMBR is only about 60% mass of the Moon. So you don't need a stellar mass blackhole to be stable. Even things smaller than the 60% the mass of the Moon will stay stable for billions of years, if they are close enough to the magic mass. However, as the CMBR temperature keeps dropping, the magic mass will start to become higher and higher, because smaller blackholes are hotter, and larger blackholes are cooler.

Hi Anton u are one of my favorite youtubers!!! GREAT VIDS!!!

[dr.diggle]

I enjoy this guys content every time I receive the blessing of watching one of his videos, he has the perfect mix of speculative, theoretical and astronomical science. The visual aspects incorporated of universe sandbox just adds that extra beautifulness to the science, thank you and keep up the good work.

[RibbonDoveTheLoser]

Short answer: Death.
Long answer: My worst nightmare has come true.

[imethanOW]

Never realized the new intro. Nice work dude!

[Volke_]

Actually the explosion from a 5 gram black hole would only be around 3 hiroshimas so around 50 kilotons of TNT it would ofc destroy CERN and everything in like kilometer around but it wouldn't be such a big deal, especially compared to the Tsar Bomba that was 50 megatons so 1000 times more powerfull.
