If you shrunk an atom down to a certain point would it become a black hole like all matter in the universe can? How big would it be?
Even if you could, which I doubt, it would evaporate in the instant of its creation so measuring it would be a bit tough.Blop said:If you shrunk an atom down to a certain point would it become a black hole like all matter in the universe can? How big would it be?
Just wondering... by what means do you plan on shrinking down an atom?Blop said:If you shrunk an atom down to a certain point would it become a black hole like all matter in the universe can? How big would it be?

No, not any atom can become a black hole. Only atoms with a very large mass, typically at least three times the mass of the sun, have the potential to become black holes.
An atom can potentially become a black hole if it has a very large mass and undergoes a process called gravitational collapse. This occurs when the gravitational force is so strong that it causes the atom to collapse in on itself, forming a singularity at its center.
When an atom becomes a black hole, the matter inside it is compressed to an extremely high density, creating a singularity. This means that all the particles within the atom, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, are crushed into an infinitely small point.
Yes, an atom can become a black hole naturally through the process of gravitational collapse. This can occur when the atom is part of a very large, dying star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and can no longer support its own weight.
No, we currently do not have the technology or capability to create a black hole in a laboratory using atoms. The massive amounts of energy and pressure required to initiate gravitational collapse are beyond our current capabilities.
