SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the feasibility of destroying a black hole, referencing a specific arXiv article (1304.6592) that suggests the need for negative energy to achieve this. Participants express skepticism about the claims made in the article, noting the reliance on Hawking radiation for black hole evaporation. The conversation highlights the ambiguity in the proposed methods for disrupting the event horizon (EH) of black holes, particularly the unclear mathematics and conditions under which these methods would apply.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics
  • Familiarity with Hawking radiation concepts
  • Basic knowledge of event horizons (EH)
  • Ability to interpret scientific papers and mathematical models
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Hawking radiation on black hole longevity
  • Explore advanced concepts in black hole thermodynamics
  • Investigate theoretical frameworks for negative energy in physics
  • Study mathematical models related to event horizon manipulation
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and science enthusiasts interested in theoretical astrophysics and the properties of black holes.

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?
