I'm assuming everyone here knows what a black hole is. It is something so dense that even light can't escape. That means the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light.
The escape velocity of Earth is about 11.2 km/s.

The formula to find that is:
V_esc = sqrt((2*G*Mass of Earth)/Radius of Earth)

The speed of light is C, approximately 3*10^8 m/s.

If we wanted to know what the diameter of Earth would have to be for it to be a black hole (given mass remains constant) we would simply do this:

V_esc = C = sqrt((2*G*Mass of Earth)/Radius of Earth)

C^2 = (2*G*Mass of Earth)/Radius of Earth

Radius of Earth = (2*G*Mass of Earth)/C^2

Diameter of Earth = (4*G*Mass of Earth)/C^2

Now I will plug in the numbers:
Diameter of Earth = (4*(6.67*10^-11)*(5.98*10^24))/((3*10^8)^2)
Diameter of Earth = 0.0178 m = 1.78 cm

Therefore the Diameter of Earth would need to be about 1.78 cm with it having the same mass it has now for it to be a black hole.

Wasn't that fun!? =p
 
Calm yourself Deathcrow. My brain is not equipped well enough for this level of stress.

lol. I fixed it just for you.

Put a spoiler there so no one has to see any math.
 

D'aw how touching,and yet insulting at the same time Lol
 

Can't be insulting if I only did it because of what YOU said.

That makes it supportive and understanding. :big_grin_wink:

Guess the rest of the characters got stuck in a black hole. Oh well. No big deal.

But imagine that amount of mass in something that small?

The mass of the Earth in something with a diameter of 1.78 cm.

That is very dense! It is hard to fathom.
 

So is my head.
 


I hear that

Well..

How much pressure would it take to manurfacture a blackhole?

A very large amount. lol

I could probably do the math to figure it out. But there are lots of variables.

But I can say, the only way an object would become a black hole isn't from an outside pressure compressing it. It would be from its own gravitational pull and the object not being able to sustain an outward pressure to keep it from collapsing.
 

Stop bringing logic into this. hehe
 
My brain hurts
But i think i get it.

=p

Just a little bit of physics.

Hmm..don't think that's a "little bit"..

Thank you for fucking my brain so hard I now have a headache.

I'll get revenge one day..
