In a quick visit to the free virtual encyclopedia, we can obtain the following definition:
According to the General Theory of Relativity, a black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even objects that move at the speed of light, can escape. This is the result of the deformation of space-time caused by a massive and highly compact matter.
Well, after that clear definition scary, no human being would try to create such a thing, right? Wrong!
A group of Scottish scientists, funded by the European Research Council (ERC), decided to simulate a black hole in the laboratory. This feat will cost about three million euros.
The question that arises: will we all be sucked into this black hole?
Well, for this we need to understand the operation of this "adapted" black hole. Everything goes by creating a laser that produces 100 pulses per second. The energy of each pulse is measured in trillion watts, approximately 10 a thousand times the energy of a nuclear power plant. The impulses will be used to simulate the conditions found around a black hole
As for safety, scientists say we should not worry, since pulses do not generate mass associated with black holes. In addition, to create a black hole, you need a collapsing star ...
All I have to do is hope that they're right, and I hate to cheer ...
