"Red Matter" is a fictional concept from the movie "Star Trek" (2009). It represents a form of degenerate matter that would promote formation of a singularity (black hole) when introduced into normal planetary or stellar objects. This is strictly a Science Fiction concept. Causing a planet to collapse on itself in any case would only require the creation of a significant amount of very dense material (neutronium) at its core. Unfortunately, this is also not within any present theory or scientific concept. One question to ask is how and why a hole would be drilled to introduce it. Even moderately deep holes on Earth cannot remain open without reinforcing (drill pipes). (see related link)
