    It's all fine. As long as the baby sleeps from 7pm until 6am the next morning from day 1. It'll be a breeze.

    I've just got to dip it in the bath each night, while I'm cleaning my teeth or something.

    So it'll be a Virgo then. Born to be one of nature's warriors, bringing peace where there has been conflict, and has a more than average chance of eventually working with hair. However, if the moon's in the 5th quadrant at the time of birth, it will grow up to rule the world and master other solar systems.

    The thing that really screws with my brain

    Is that when two of the high energy protons collide, the resulting wreckage has more mass than the combined mass of the original two particles. The terrific amounts of energy the particles have actually create stuff out of nothing (well, out of the actual energy but it's nothing really). E=MC2 It's absolutely bananas.

    I'm relaxed now and I've cancelled the 72 oz steak last supper....

    <h1 class="questiontitle">How long would it take for a mini-black hole to eat the Earth?</h1>

    <font color="#dd0000">How long would it take a primordial black hole to eat the earth if one fell to the center of it? Would it just sit there forever eating an atom at a time? (assuming event horizon the size of an atomic nucleus with 1,000,000,000 tonnes mass.)</font></p>

    A billion tons may seem like a lot, but it's actually miniscule compared to the mass of the Earth, which weighs about 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons! A black hole that weighs a billion tons would have an event horizon that's only about 10^-15 meters. So it would be so small that it would really only eat particles that happened to run into it, which wouldn't happen very often. If you were to plant it in the center of the Earth, it would just sit there forever, never consuming enough matter for anyone to notice. </p>

    If instead of setting it in the Earth's core, you were to drop it from the surface of the Earth, it would sink down through the middle, pop out the other side, and slide back and forth through the Earth for all eternity. If you assume that the black hole would only consume atoms that it happens to run into, then I calculate that it would take about 10^28 years for it to consume the entire Earth. This assumes that the black hole wouldn't lose any mass due to Hawking radiation. If you factor that in, it would probably *never* consume the whole Earth. </p>

    RE: The thing that really screws with my brain

    Thats the good old Heisenberg uncertainty principle for you.

    Bloody matter / anti-matter pairs popping off all around the Universe and stuff. What's the probability of enough energy suddenly and spontaneously coming into existance and transforming, through the Higgs field into enough matter to form an entire Universe eh?

    Well, it could take a while, assuming time actually existed before that event (which it doesn't) so it could have happened reight quick like. In a sort of puff of creation and stuff. 'Course, there's no audible explosion with a big bang as there's no Universe and subsequently no air to transmit the sound. So it's really a big Phhhfffttt, or something.

    What would happen to the Earth if the Sun suddenly turned into a black hole?

    Well, it would fall into the bastud like, cos it's mass would still be the same and so not disrupt the orbit. It'd get a tad cold and Piz Buin would go out of business reight sharp like.

    RE: Minimal, mate.

    Funny that:

    If you take the letter ‘o’ out of ‘good’ you get ‘god’.
    If you add the letter ‘d’ to ‘evil’ you get ‘devil’.

    I feel sorry for Big Lil

    Picture the scenario where he loses a load of weight on his new diet, only to discover that he has actually doubled his weight because of a black hole underneath Dodworth High Street. The poor man.
