    Black hole Hole
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the concept of black holes and their interaction with time, particularly in relation to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) potentially creating tiny black holes. It is established that from our frame of reference, time appears to stop at the event horizon of a black hole, complicating our understanding of their formation. The conversation references a specific forum thread that delves deeper into the implications of observing black holes and their evaporation into particles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its implications on time and space.
  • Familiarity with black hole physics, particularly event horizons.
  • Knowledge of particle physics and the operations of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
  • Basic grasp of quantum mechanics and black hole evaporation processes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of black holes on time dilation in general relativity.
  • Explore the mechanisms of black hole formation and evaporation in quantum physics.
  • Study the experimental capabilities of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) regarding black hole production.
  • Investigate the implications of observing black holes and their particle emissions.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, astrophysicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the intersection of black hole research and particle physics.

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?
