B Micro Black Holes: The Possibility of Creating an Extra Dimension

Gilgamesh
Would it be possible for an "extra" dimension to be created if a microscopic black hole was made and maintained until it sucked in a mass (a person) and was "turned on and off" infinitely quickly popping in and out of existence so that the gravity doesn't kill a human but the "extra dimension" still exists

No, it is not possible. It is as certainly impossible as it is to find two integers, neither equal to one, that when multiplied together give you a prime number; or to find two integers ##a## and ##b## such that ##(a/b)^2## is equal to two. However, to go beyond that "no, not possible" reply requires much more understanding of the math behind the theory of general relativity.

A good start would be Taylor and Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics", which introduces the geometric formulation of special relativity that is a prerequisite for general relativity. Another introduction, which has the great advantage of being free, would be Benjamin Crowell's book.
Once you have SR down cold you can try your hand at general relativity and especially black holes. Crowell has a GR textbook at the same website (lightandmatter.com) as the SR one. Sean Carroll's https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/grnotes/ is also very good - be sure to check out the other links at the bottom.

Many posts that violate the Physics Forums rules prohibiting posting speculation that is not based on what we already do know have been removed from this thread. Everyone is reminded, begged, implored, to please please... when you see a post that appears to violate this rule, report it.

This thread is closed, as the question in the original post has been answered.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
