The utter fantasization of black holes in space subs is starting to really get annoying. They’re a spacetime phenomenon that occurs when too much mass gets into too little space and it’s gravity crushes itself into a tiny dot. That’s it – no more, no less. There’s no data proving a run-of-the-mill black hole has any form of magical properties like having another universe inside it or being a wormhole elsewhere.
What especially annoys me is the occasional question that gets asked about whether or not the subatomic black holes generated by smashing a handful of atoms together in a particle generator can suck up the earth and kill us all. Well, no. Because they’re still just the mass of a handful of atoms.
