YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBlack holes are one of the most bizarre and terrifying results from general relativity - a singularity of infinite density from which even light cannot escape. Black holes fascinate us and this has led some to wonder if the could even be used as a power source. Micro black holes, that is black holes much lighter than a star, could be one of way of doing this. Today we explore the possibilities of a micro black hole and exactly how it might be possible to turn them into power banks.
Written and Presented by Prof. David Kipping. All planet images/videos shown are artistic impressions and not real photographs, except for the reconstructed image of Messier 87*
