Can anything capture a black hole?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the hypothetical interactions between micro black holes (MBHs) and massive objects, such as neutron stars. Participants explore whether MBHs can be captured or halted by other celestial bodies, concluding that while MBHs may interact with matter similarly to satellites, they are unlikely to be stopped entirely. The conversation highlights the potential for MBHs to grow in mass when interacting with dense materials, such as those found in neutron stars, potentially leading to the formation of accretion discs and jets.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of micro black holes (MBHs)
  • Familiarity with Hawking radiation
  • Knowledge of neutron star characteristics
  • Basic principles of gravitational interactions in astrophysics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the formation and properties of micro black holes
  • Study the effects of Hawking radiation on black hole dynamics
  • Investigate the behavior of neutron stars and their interactions with black holes
  • Explore the concept of accretion discs and jets in astrophysical contexts
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and students interested in black hole physics and cosmic interactions will benefit from this discussion.

Hello everyone :) I hope this, my first, question here on this forum lives up to it's standard. I try :)


Hypothetically...

#1: Assuming stable MBH's (micro black hole's) can exist.

#2: Assuming such MBH's can form from cosmic radiation colliding with particles.

Can any object with mass, apart from another black hole, then stop or capture this MBH inside itself? (such as a neutron star for instance)

Or will the MBH always 'win' and continue through (and later away from, when it exits on the opposite side of it's entry-point) whatever object of mass it encounters along it's traveling trajectory?

I guess my question is: can anything stop (bring to a halt or stand-still) an MBH along it's traveling trajectory, or will it maintain a high traveling velocity virtually forever regardless of what it 'hits' (or absorbs) on it's way?

Thanks.

I believe that a micro black hole will interact with atoms or molecules in a fashion similar to a satellite flying by a planet. If we use the black hole as the zero point then rocks in the mantle are flying at the kugleblitz at several km/s. After the flyby they will turn perpendicular still at several km/s. From the rocks perspective the kugelbitz is approaching and launching silicon ions forward and out. They ineraction would eventually slow the black hole down.
I believe that in an neutron star the material would overwhelm the hawking radiation. The kugelbitz would quickly grow. Maybe spit out and accretion disc and jets.
