I had a brief discussion with Advanced Google Gemini about this.

Have you heard of the claim that “they” have created a black hole in a lab?

Yes, I’ve heard of claims about black holes being created in laboratories. However, it’s important to understand the context of these claims:

  • No true black holes have been created. Creating an actual black hole would require an immense amount of energy concentrated in a tiny space, far beyond our current technological capabilities. Any such object would pose a significant danger due to its immense gravitational pull.
  • Scientists have created black hole analogs. These are systems that mimic some properties of black holes, allowing researchers to test theories and explore phenomena related to black holes in a controlled environment. Examples include:
  • Using a chain of atoms to simulate the event horizon of a black hole.
  • Creating a spinning disk of plasma that mimics the accretion disk surrounding a black hole.
  • Simulating black hole dynamics using superfluid helium.

I have lately been constructing arguments against God and the supernatural. I have proven that stuff doesn't exist with science equations. I aspire to be great.
