Can you imagine what a "black hole fusion accident" could look like?

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 90 points 1 month ago

No, of course not. The accident eats all the light I'd need for that.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 12 points 1 month ago

I mean, you could imagine it for a moment.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

To us it might even seem like a rather long moment.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Or would that mean that you can only imagine, because you could never truly observe it?

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

It would be almost impossible to do something like that without enough fuel though.

In theory you could collapse almost anything into a black hole, every piece of matter and energy has a roche limit

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

What is that limit for iron and is it referred to as Ferro-Roche?

There's definitely a paper in this idea
