What would happen if humans could deliberately create a blackhole?
Well, for starters we might just unlock the ultimate energy source to
create the ultimate spacecraft engine — a potential “black hole-drive”
– to propel ships to the stars.It turns out black holes are not black at all; they give off “Hawking radiation” that causes them to lose energy (and therefore mass) over time. For large black holes, the amount of radiation produced is miniscule, but very small black holes rapidly turn their mass into a huge amount of energy.
