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

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 90 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, you could imagine it for a moment.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 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?

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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

There's definitely a paper in this idea
