SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the theoretical possibility of a human becoming a black hole by compressing a 200kg human into a sphere with a radius of approximately 1.5e-25 meters, which corresponds to its Schwarzschild radius. This compression would require immense pressure, surpassing the density of neutron degenerate matter, leading to a state known as quark degenerate matter. While theoretically feasible, the process is impractical and would result in the death of the individual. Additionally, such a small black hole would have a very brief lifespan of around 3e-11 seconds, as determined by quantum mechanics.
