Exploring a Micro Singularity in Euclidean Space Time

In summary, the conversation discusses the hypothetical scenario of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) producing a mini black hole and the implications it would have on space-time and the laws of physics. The participants consider the possibility of the black hole evaporating immediately or lasting for a short period of time and the effects it would have on objects, such as a baseball, that are thrown into it.

What if the LHC produced a mini black hole and as a result a micro singularity was produced. If you were using Euclidean space time what equations and factors do you think would be most relevant?

It would evaporate in pretty much the same instant it was formed

But what if it didn't evaporate and instead lasted for say 5 seconds and you threw a baseball in it. What happens to the baseball?

This question is "What do the laws of physics say when we disregard the laws of physics" and as such has no answer.

FAQ: Exploring a Micro Singularity in Euclidean Space Time

1. What is a micro singularity?

A micro singularity is a hypothetical point in space-time where the gravitational pull becomes infinitely strong, causing a distortion in the fabric of space-time. It is believed to be the result of the collapse of a small amount of matter, similar to a black hole but on a much smaller scale.

2. How is a micro singularity different from a black hole?

A black hole is created by the collapse of a large amount of matter, while a micro singularity is formed by the collapse of a much smaller amount of matter. Additionally, a micro singularity is thought to have a different structure than a black hole, with a smaller event horizon and possibly different effects on space-time.

3. What is Euclidean space-time?

Euclidean space-time is a mathematical concept that describes the three dimensions of space (length, width, and height) and the fourth dimension of time. It is based on Euclidean geometry, which assumes a flat, non-curved space. This is in contrast to the curved space of Einstein's theory of general relativity.

4. How is exploring a micro singularity in Euclidean space-time different from exploring it in curved space-time?

Exploring a micro singularity in Euclidean space-time would involve using the principles of classical mechanics, such as Newton's laws of motion, while exploring it in curved space-time would require using the principles of general relativity. Additionally, the effects of gravity and time dilation may be different in these two types of space-time.

5. What are the potential implications of exploring a micro singularity in Euclidean space-time?

Exploring a micro singularity in Euclidean space-time could provide insight into the nature of gravity and the structure of space-time. It could also have practical applications, such as providing a new source of energy or a means of faster-than-light travel. However, there are also potential dangers, as the extreme gravitational forces of a micro singularity could have unpredictable effects on the surrounding environment.
