    Black hole Hole
AI Thread Summary
Black holes significantly affect the perception of time, particularly at their event horizons, where time appears to stop from our perspective. When the Large Hadron Collider (LHC becomes operational, it may create tiny black holes that evaporate almost instantaneously into particles. The challenge lies in observing these formations, as they may not appear to complete their formation due to the effects of time dilation. The discussion highlights the complexities of observing black hole formation and evaporation within our time frame. Understanding these phenomena requires a deep dive into the interplay between black holes and the nature of time.

I think I understand that black holes do funny things with time. And it could even be argued that from our frame of reference time stops at the event horizon so we never see it form completely. So when the LHC comes online and starts maybe producing tiny black holes which quickly evaporate into a shower of particles how do we see that happen if in our time the formation never appears to complete?

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
