The purpose of this thread is to hear some of the creative and interesting ideas anyone can share on creating and maintaining a micro black hole and say eventually using it as a power source.
Chronos said:The trouble with micro black holes is they don't last long enough to have much utility. A black hole of one million kg would only last about 1 minute before it evaporated, but, would give new meaning to the phrase 'smoking hot'.
Waterfox said:How can a black hole be used as an infinite power source if you have to continuously "re-fuel" it by giving it more mass?
An electrical generator can be an infinite power source as long as I keep inputting coal.
Antientrophy said:Well once we have our first black hole depending on its mass we could use it to make other black holes in a kind of factory system. The bigger the mass the better black holes we could make and so forth. Eventually once we have perfected our manufacturing we might even be able to pull off a rotating black hole of sufficent macroscopic size provided we have a proper containment system ofcourse. This will probably require some new laws of physics, but still fascinating none the less.

I could just as well say "We could put our Sun into a turbine, turn gravity off, boil off extra water from our oceans and power the Earth forever. This will require new laws of physics, but is still fascinating none the less".
Fascinating? No. Gibberish? Yes

Currently, it is not possible to create a black hole in a controlled environment. Black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars and require incredible amounts of energy and pressure, which we cannot replicate on Earth.
No, lasers or other forms of energy are not powerful enough to create a black hole. Even the most powerful lasers on Earth would need to be condensed to the size of an atom to have the same effect as a collapsing star.
Currently, we do not have the technology or resources to artificially create a black hole in space. It would require an immense amount of energy and precise manipulation of matter, which is beyond our current capabilities.
While there have been theoretical proposals for using advanced technology to manipulate gravitational forces, there is currently no known method for creating a black hole in this way. The amount of energy and control required would be incredibly difficult to achieve.
Since we do not currently have the technology to create a black hole, it is difficult to determine any potential risks or dangers. However, it is important to consider the potential consequences and ethical implications of manipulating such powerful forces.
