Creating a Black Hole

Today, I went to see the talk “Constraints on Quantum Gravity”

“Superstring theory is currently the best candidate for ultimate unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics”

A question I never asked, but still got answered:

“I’m an intellectual historian, so my knowledge of physics is very limited, infinitely small so to say, maybe contained somewhere in the singularity…

You showed a slide that stated: ‘The Planck scale accelerator would create a black hole.’ How would that look like?”

“The scale of such an accelerator would outweigh the earth, so we would need a new paradigm of how to conduct such experiments…”

“So like a nuclear fusion reactor?'“

“Maybe”

We just found a piece of meteroite that is older than the earth:

7 billion years
