1.616252(81)×10−35 meters.

The Planck mass is the mass for which the Schwarzschild radius is equal to the Compton length divided by π. The radius of such a black hole would be, roughly, the Planck length (1.616252(81)×10−35 meters) . The following thought experiment illuminates this fact. The task is to measure an object's position by bouncing electromagnetic radiation, namely photons, off it. The shorter the wavelength of the photons, and hence the higher their energy, the more accurate the measurement. If the photons are sufficiently energetic to make possible a measurement whose precision is less than 1 Planck length, their collision with the object under study would, in theory, create a minuscule black hole. This black hole would "swallow" the photon and thereby make it impossible to obtain a measurement. A simple calculation using dimensional analysis suggests that this problem arises if we attempt to measure an object's position with a precision equal to 1 Planck length. However, this black hole could, at least in theory, produce Hawking Radiation by "swallowing" other photons. Therefore, this radiation could be measured.

What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What happens if a white hole gets sucked into a black hole?

A white hole (assuming they actually exist) is simply a small black hole, so nothing very spectacular would happen. The black hole would just get very slightly more massive (well, considerably more massive on a "how many ounces is that" scale; not so much on a "how many solar masses is that" scale).


What would happen if you jumped into a Kerr black hole?

If you jumped into an "ordinary" Schwarzschild black hole, you would be crushed into a long line of particles, which means death by a black hole. If you jumped into a Kerr black hole, the same process may occur, but the only thing different is that a Kerr black hole spins, and a Schwarzschild black hole does not. That answer needs a bit more detail. Please use the "related link" below.


What object has such a strong surface gravity that light cannot escape?

A black hole


How strong is the black holes gravitational pull?

The strength of a black hole's gravity depends on the black hole's mass and how far your reference point is from the center of mass.

The "sucking" is done by the gravity. A black hole has a large mass, concentrated in a small region of space.The "sucking" is done by the gravity.

No te sun is to small to create a black hole when it dies


Is a black hole small?

Yes. It's physically impossible for anything to be smaller than a black hole.


What happens to sound and light when you approach a black hole?

It is sucked into the black hole to a point that is infinitely small.


What happens to things that get sucked up by a black hole?

i believe the black hole crushes the object into another small black hole which just ads to the already infinate space within

Why is the sun considred a black hole?

First of all, our sun can not become a black hole, it is too small for that. However if a star is three times bigger than our sun, then yes it will become a black hole.


What is so small and massive that its gravity does not even let light escape it?

Your category is the answer, that thing is black hole


What can destorya black hole?

In general, nothing. Another black hole could swallow a smaller one, if it's small enough it would destroy itself, but anything else would lose to the black hole.
