Quote:interesting question,
Blackholes are spheres with very very high gravitational force. Even light can not escape that force. So even if the bomb explodes, we won't be able to observe it. Blackholes are made from high density neutron star. You can’t expect a blackhole to be destroyed just by an explosion of neuclear weapon.
Bomb explosion would release a huge amount of energy (assuming it reaches the “surface” of blackhole and explodes). Blackhole treats energy and mass equally. So it will absorb all the energy released by the bomb.
Lets assume we throw the bomb at event horizon. Time is slow there, much much slower then in our normal world. So before the bomb reaches the center, we might have passed 100s or 1000s of earth years. So if you are the person to drop the bomb, you probably wouldn't be the person to observe it when it explodes. Fascinating, isn't it ?
A black hole is how you make atomic bombs get lost for 100s or 1000s of earth years near the hole's event horizon.
Don't believe the misleading posts trying to cover this fact .
Uh, no. Long before the mass in a macroscopic object can be seriously affected by the time dilation affect near the event horizon of a small black hole, The object will have been ripped into a stream of subatomic particles by the tremendous tidal force near the event horizon. Once that happens, outlandish things will happen long before things get so weird as Einstein predicted.
The irony is, the smaller the black hole, the more extreme the tidal forces any object approaching it will experience as it comes close to the event horizon.
If we are talking about a black hole that can be made on earth. It would have to be pretty small. Even if all of earth is turned into a blackhole, it would still be very small for a black hole. The point is the tidal force your hydrogen bomb will experience before relativistic affect because really large will already be out of this world. Suffice to rip atomic nucleus apart and dwarve the forces nuclear fission or fusion can be releases out of the same nucleus.
Any angular momentum the object previously had with respect to the blackhole will spin the stream up to millions of revolutions per second around the small black hole as the stream falls towards the hole. The centrifugal force of the spinning cloud will slow the leading edge stream on its way into the black hole. But trailing parts of the cloud of material that was the hydrogen bomb would still be piling in under the black holes’ a gravity. Remember, conservation of energy says anything falling into a blackhole under the blackhole’s gravity will achieve light speed as it enters event horizon, even if the black hole is small. So the material piling up behind the leading edge of the could will hit the leading edge at a large fraction of speed of light. Guess what, compression we can’t even dream of reproducing on earth will heat the particles up to temperature way higher than the center of a nuclear explosion. Guess what? That heat, embodying about 50-100 times more evergy than if the material that generated it exploded in nuclear fusion, Will radiate out long before these material begin to experience the scale of time dilation you quoted.
