What happens if you enter white hole? Objects inside a white hole can leave and interact with the outside world, but since nothing can get in, the interior is cut off from the universe’s past: No outside event will ever affect...
Can a small black hole consume the Sun? Our Sun is too small a star to end its life as a black hole. But what would happen if the Sun were suddenly replaced with a black hole of the same mass?...
Could a black hole destroy the universe? No, Moss says. The fact that the universe has been around 13.8 billion years shows that primordial black holes will not trigger such a collapse, he says. As for black holes at the LHC,...
What can defeat a black hole? Black holes, the insatiable monsters of the universe, are impossible to kill with any of the weapons in our grasp. The only thing that can hasten a black hole’s demise is a cable made of...
Will a black hole ever destroy Earth? Earth is facing no threat because no black hole is close enough to the solar system for our planet. According to NASA, even if a black hole the same mass as the sun replace...
How close does a black hole have to be to affect Earth? If Earth gets within about 800,000 kilometres (3.7 light seconds) of this black hole it will get pulled apart. But that’s unlikely to happen and certainly not in your...
Can a Super Collider cause a black hole? The creation of black holes at the Large Hadron Collider is very unlikely. However, some theories suggest that the formation of tiny ‘quantum’ black holes may be possible. The observation of such an...
What was CERN 2022? 2022: Higgs10, LHC Run 3 and restart The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), restarted on 22 April 2022 after more than three years for maintenance, consolidation and upgrade work. How...
What is CERN trying to do with dark matter? During the Large Hadron Collider’s four-year experiment, scientists are hoping to find evidence of dark matter. As they fire up the machine, protons will spin at nearly the speed of light. The...
