I have to make it to California some day! Then on to Baja for camping, riding, diving, whale watching, cactus eating, Mescal drinking, and unobtainium smoking. :crazy:

Ah well, I see you've brought the thread round to something you feel more comfortable with. :roll:

I took it that he was pointing at your own post ending in "who knows?" after you mocked his which ended the same.
At least that's my understanding, so I found it actually kinda funny.

Mine ending in "Who knows" was part of the mocking.

(But don't let me stop you crawling up his bum.)

What's the matter, hon, you wanted me to crawl up yours instead? :puke:

I don't crawl up any asses, TYVM, that's the HLP's job.

Miniature in mass, I hope you mean? Because all black holes would (theoretically) be the same size, spatially, as they would technically occupy no space.

If you mean miniature in mass, just read the wiki!

SOME people fear the LHC(large hadron collider, that thing they're building in Europe that collides hadrons) will produce such black holes that will then destroy the earth, but they're just paranoid crazies.

Others of us merely HOPE the LHC will create such black holes that will then destroy the earth. We're much more rational. :lol:

Assuming physics as we know it (standard disclaimer), a black hole can only perpetuate in space/time as a sufficiently massive collapsed star of a known certain mass. Any "quantum black hole" created is inherently unstable, and would evaporate in a short time.

As to the size of black holes, they grow larger as they gain energy/mass from consuming stars, once they are formed.

Now, if a small/quantum black hole was artificially created, and sustained, by techniques that are beyond current science, we are talking turkey.

Since the LHC is based on the concept that physics as we know it is wrong, I can speculate all I want as long as I ignore my entire physics education!

So if I have no physics education, that means I can make up stuff as I like?
