Micro Black Holes: The Possibility of Creating an Extra Dimension

In summary, it is not possible for an "extra" dimension to be created by using a microscopic black hole that is rapidly turned on and off. This concept goes against the principles of general relativity and requires a deeper understanding of mathematics and physics. For further exploration, recommended resources include Taylor and Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics", Benjamin Crowell's textbooks on special and general relativity, and Sean Carroll's "Spacetime and Geometry" notes. Additionally, it is important for users to adhere to the forum's rules and avoid posting speculative content.

Would it be possible for an "extra" dimension to be created if a microscopic black hole was made and maintained until it sucked in a mass (a person) and was "turned on and off" infinitely quickly popping in and out of existence so that the gravity doesn't kill a human but the "extra dimension" still exists

No, it is not possible. It is as certainly impossible as it is to find two integers, neither equal to one, that when multiplied together give you a prime number; or to find two integers ##a## and ##b## such that ##(a/b)^2## is equal to two. However, to go beyond that "no, not possible" reply requires much more understanding of the math behind the theory of general relativity.

A good start would be Taylor and Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics", which introduces the geometric formulation of special relativity that is a prerequisite for general relativity. Another introduction, which has the great advantage of being free, would be Benjamin Crowell's book.
Once you have SR down cold you can try your hand at general relativity and especially black holes. Crowell has a GR textbook at the same website (lightandmatter.com) as the SR one. Sean Carroll's https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/grnotes/ is also very good - be sure to check out the other links at the bottom.

Many posts that violate the Physics Forums rules prohibiting posting speculation that is not based on what we already do know have been removed from this thread. Everyone is reminded, begged, implored, to please please... when you see a post that appears to violate this rule, report it.

This thread is closed, as the question in the original post has been answered.

1. What are micro black holes?

Micro black holes are theoretical objects that are much smaller than standard black holes. They are thought to be the result of quantum effects in the early universe and are predicted to have a mass ranging from a few grams to the size of an atomic nucleus.

2. How could micro black holes be created?

One proposed method for creating micro black holes is through the collision of high-energy particles, such as in particle accelerators. Another possibility is that they may have been created during the Big Bang and have been floating around in space ever since.

3. What is the possibility of creating an extra dimension with micro black holes?

The concept of an extra dimension is still a subject of debate among physicists. Some theories suggest that micro black holes could provide evidence for the existence of extra dimensions, while others argue that they would not be large enough to create or interact with an extra dimension.

4. Are micro black holes dangerous?

There is currently no evidence to suggest that micro black holes are dangerous. In fact, they are so small and short-lived that they would likely pass through matter without causing any significant damage.

5. What are the potential implications of discovering micro black holes?

If micro black holes are found to exist, it could provide valuable insights into the nature of gravity and the structure of the universe. It could also lead to new discoveries and advancements in theoretical physics.
