How many skeletons would it take to make a black hole?
Enough to adequately staff a particle accelerator.
A bag

So a mere skeleton crew?

On their own or with tools?
Only one, so long as you compress it down far enough.
>>43542221
Depends on the size of the hole, the thickness of the skeleton's bones, and the source of light.
>>43542221
8.2522822e+29 by my quick calculation, assuming a black hole with 2.5 solar masses and the skeleton of a human being weighing 80.7 kg massing roughly 15% of their body weight.

Skeletal mass of only 15% seems rather low. Bones and narrow are surprisingly heavy. I would guess at least 30% of total mass.

good work everyone
