    Blackhole
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of destroying a black hole, referencing an arXiv article that suggests the need for negative energy to achieve this. Participants express skepticism about the claims, noting that black holes might naturally evaporate through Hawking radiation over time. There is confusion regarding the mathematical approach proposed in the article, particularly about firing particles at the event horizon. The consensus leans toward the idea that attempts to destroy black holes are likely to fail. Overall, the topic highlights the complexities and uncertainties surrounding black hole physics.

destroy a Blackhole? !?

http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.6592

What the?

I nominate this for the most outlandish arxiv article I've seen yet lol.
I couldn't think of which forum to post this but its definitely is worth laughing about.

Hello, Mordred...

I'm not certain you do, but if you would like your links to be clickable, look below the "Reply to Thread" text box, under "Additional Options", locate "Miscellaneous Options", and put a √ in the box that's in front of "Automatically parse links in text".

You should get... http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.6592, instead of... http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.6592.



OCR... :smile:

Thanks just wish that option would show up on my phone lol. For thatt matter having the post number so I can quote specific posts vs entire threads on my phone would be a treat
as well.

I forgot to add destroy the EH of a bkackhole thought I had EH in the title.
I'm still trying to figure out how they can fire a small particle at the EH to cause an interuption. The little math they have is a little vaque on that. Also they imply it will only work on specific BH's but again are not very clear lol.

As in most papers nowadays... :-(
 
"...any attempt to destroy the black hole seems to be doomed to fail"

XD Who woulda thunk it?
