What would happen if dark energy was injected into a black hole?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the hypothetical scenario of injecting dark energy into a black hole, exploring the implications and consequences of such an action. The conversation touches on theoretical concepts related to dark energy, black holes, and the nature of physical laws governing these phenomena.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that injecting dark energy into a planet's core would cause it to inflate until a balance with gravity is reached or until it fails.
  • Another participant argues against the feasibility of "injecting" dark energy, stating that it cannot be manipulated in such a manner, thus questioning the validity of the original inquiry.
  • Some participants express frustration with responses that do not address the original question, indicating a perceived lack of understanding among some respondents.
  • A later reply emphasizes that the question lacks a scientific basis and requires numerous assumptions, rendering any potential answers meaningless.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the validity of the original question, with some asserting it makes no sense while others attempt to engage with the hypothetical scenario. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the implications of dark energy in this context.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in understanding dark energy and black holes, as well as the assumptions required to engage with the hypothetical scenario posed by the original question.

As I understand it, if you were to inject lots of dark energy into the molten core of a planet, the planet would inflate like a bubble over time until the forces of dark energy and gravity were in balance or until the bubble popped. If you were to inject dark energy into the interior of a black hole, what would happen?

You cannot "inject" dark energy into anything. It's not something you can corral and coerce into doing your bidding, so your question makes no sense.
 
Its weird. Whenever I ask a question on a physics forum I always get two or three obsessive compulsives that don't understand what’s going on answering a question I didn't ask before someone comes along with something intelligent.

This is possibly due to the fact that

In order to get even close to an answer, one had to make so many assumptions on what is still unknown that a every answer would be meaningless. The only intelligent answer is

Speculations and thus the question isn't covered by our rules without a scientific basis, i.e. some mainstream science in whose context a discussion could be settled.
