Micro Black Holes: The Possibility of Creating an Extra Dimension

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impossibility of creating an extra dimension through the manipulation of microscopic black holes. It is established that maintaining a black hole to "turn on and off" for dimensional creation is not feasible, akin to mathematical impossibilities such as finding two integers that yield a prime number when multiplied. A deeper understanding of general relativity is necessary to grasp these concepts fully, with recommended resources for foundational knowledge.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of special relativity (SR)
  • Familiarity with general relativity (GR)
  • Knowledge of black hole physics
  • Mathematical concepts related to prime numbers and integer properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Taylor and Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics" for an introduction to special relativity
  • Read Benjamin Crowell's free textbook on general relativity available at lightandmatter.com
  • Explore Sean Carroll's general relativity notes at preposterousuniverse.com
  • Investigate the mathematical foundations of prime numbers and their properties
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, aspiring physicists, and anyone interested in the theoretical implications of black holes and dimensional theories will benefit from this discussion.

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.
