    Black hole Hole
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the conditions required for a Schwarzschild radius to form a black hole, emphasizing that an individual's mass must be compressed to an extremely small radius to achieve this state. For a person weighing 65 kg, the calculated Schwarzschild radius is approximately 9.62x10^26 meters, which is not achievable under normal circumstances. The conversation highlights that the density of the mass is crucial, as one cannot become a black hole without compressing their mass within the Schwarzschild radius. The correct formula for calculating the Schwarzschild radius is provided, illustrating that the radius is minuscule, around one part in ten million million million million of a meter. Ultimately, the key takeaway is that energy compression within the Schwarzschild radius is essential for black hole formation.

What is the condition for the schwarzschild radius to form a black hole?
Well, for example I have 65 Kg, so my Schwarzschild radius is 9.62x10^26 m
Why am I not a black hole?

You might want to check your math.
 
you are not dense enough.
 
Check out the link below concerning a certain fictional "human black hole."

Your math is wrong. Your Schwarzschild radius should be extremely small. You would be a black hole only after all your mass was squeezed into that radius.
 
I think you should check your maths.

Schwarschild radius: r_{s}=2Gm\overline{c^{2}}

substitute the following values:

r_{s} is the Schwarzschild radius (you want to calculate)

G\ =\ 6.673(10)\ \times\ 10^{-11}\ m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m is your mass, assume = 70 Kg

c\ =\ 2.99792458\ \times\ 10^{8}\ m\ s^{-1}

hence r_{s}= 1.0394599353664114117056783269603e-25 m

meaning your radius should be approximately as small as one part in ten million million million million of a meter!

You will certainly become a black hole if you compress yourself upto Schwarzschild radius. As said earlier your math is wrong. But one condition is again missing. To be a black hole you should compress the energy of your body within the region of Schwarzschild radius.
