Can Energy Compression Create a Black Hole?

In summary, the Schwarzschild radius is the distance from the center of an object where the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light, causing it to become a black hole. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the conditions for an object to become a black hole, including the density and mass needed to reach the Schwarzschild radius. They also mention the importance of correctly calculating the radius and compressing the energy of the object within that distance.

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.
 
  • #3
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: [tex]r_{s}[/tex]=[tex]2Gm\overline{c^{2}}[/tex]

substitute the following values:

[tex]r_{s}[/tex] is the Schwarzschild radius (you want to calculate)

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

m is your mass, assume = 70 Kg

[tex]c\ =\ 2.99792458\ \times\ 10^{8}\ m\ s^{-1}[/tex]

hence [tex]r_{s}[/tex]= 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.
 

1. Can a human become a black hole?

No, it is not possible for a human to become a black hole. Black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars, and humans do not have enough mass to undergo this process.

2. Can a black hole be created artificially?

Currently, there is no known way to create a black hole artificially. The conditions required for black hole formation are extreme and cannot be replicated by humans.

3. Will the Earth ever become a black hole?

No, the Earth does not have enough mass to become a black hole. Even if all of the Earth's mass were compressed into a single point, it would still not be massive enough to form a black hole.

4. Can a black hole be destroyed?

It is currently believed that black holes cannot be destroyed. However, some theories suggest that black holes can slowly evaporate over time through a process called Hawking radiation.

5. Can anything escape from a black hole?

Once something is pulled into a black hole's event horizon, it cannot escape. This includes light, which is why black holes are invisible and appear as dark regions in space.
