Us developing an actual black hole would be one of the best things humanity has ever done. It would kinda be like inventing techniques to make fire.

We could throw shit around the orbit of the black hole and get fusion. Not just deuterium fusion! Even proton proton fusion. Our energy needs would be solved practically forever.

We could conduct a crazy amount of experiments on the black hole, see quantum effects of gravity and whatnot.

Maybe we could build one of em Alcubierre drives that don't need exotic matter?

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

[-] [email protected] 90 points 3 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

I mean, you could imagine it for a moment.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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

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