Okay /sci/. Let's settle this once and for all.
Black hole starships, possible or not?
If possible, then is it an effective way for propulsion?
According to the Crane and Westmoreland papers, it would take 20 days for a micro black hole starship to accelerate to 10% of the speed of light, assuming 100% conversion to kinetic energy, so even if we assume 10% energy conversion it would still only take 200 days to accelerate to 10% of the speed of light.

So what do you say?

I don't think you're going to be doing any 'settling' on a meme infested image board.
> step one : get some dark matter
why did you even bother with this thread ?
>>8068773
he doesnt do much in real life, either
>>8068777
You didn't read?
Apparently you can create a micro black hole using sound waves.
>>8068779
OP, that's some groundbreaking mathematics you've just bedazzled us with. Why don't you stick to classical mechanics?
>>8068766
There's no way for us to know, we know nowhere near enough about dark matter to even consider your question let alone answer it.
Sorry to mess up your day senpai.
>>8068787
What do dark matter have to do with this?

"... So making a BH is extremely difficult, but it would not be as dangerous or hard to handle as a massive quantity of antimatter. Although the process of generating a BH is extremely massive, it does not require any new Physics..."

oh god please stop with this your relentless autism

This thread is not about the possibility of creating a micro BH, because since it has already been done ( at cern for example) , this thread is about the idea of a starship using a micro black hole as propulsion, converting hawkings radiation to kinetic energy.
Dont derail please.

and from:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_starship
> A black hole weighing 606,000 metric tons (6.06 × 108 kg), or roughly the mass of the Seawise Giant (the longest sea-going ship ever built) would have a Schwarzschild radius of 0.9 attometers (0.9 × 10–18 m, or 9 × 10–19 m), a power output of 160 petawatts (160 × 1015 W, or 1.6 × 1017 W), and a 3.5-year lifespan.
Why stop accelerating after 200 days?
Even the trip to Proxima Centauri would take 44 years at 0.1c.
How's that work?

Oops, just noticed this.
So how do we decelerate at the other end? Our black hole will be all gone!
>>8068910
A parachute will do.
