Lab fireball 'may be black hole'

Creating the conditions for the formation of black holes is one of the
aims of particle physics

A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the
characteristics of a black hole, a physicist has said.
It was generated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New
York, US, which smashes beams of gold nuclei together at near light
speeds.

Horatiu Nastase says his calculations show that the core of the
fireball has a striking similarity to a black hole.

His work has been published on the pre-print website arxiv.org and is
reported in New Scientist magazine.

When the gold nuclei smash into each other they are broken down into
particles called quarks and gluons.

These form a ball of plasma about 300 times hotter than the surface of
the Sun. This fireball, which lasts just 10 million, billion,
billionths of a second, can be detected because it absorbs jets of
particles produced by the beam collisions.

But Nastase, of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, says
there is something unusual about it.

Ten times as many jets were being absorbed by the fireball as were
predicted by calculations.

The Brown researcher thinks the particles are disappearing into the
fireball's core and reappearing as thermal radiation, just as matter
is thought to fall into a black hole and come out as "Hawking"
radiation.

However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought
to pose a threat. At these energies and distances, gravity is not the
dominant force in a black hole.

The RHIC is sited at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Lab fireball 'may be black hole'

There was a SciFi short story about this. Controlled "burst"
fusion was being used to produce power, and tiny black holes were
orbitting through the Earth. Before we knew about Hawking
radiation, I presume.

Zero chance. Since the only people in the
whole universe to date that believe that Hawking
radiation comes from anywhere other than the Internet
are Hawking and his lab astrologers in Australia,
Los Angelos, and New York.

That's quite obvious, since gravity is not
the dominant force in a spin hole either.

Since Brookhaven has been redesiginated
as a US National Laboratory as:

The Intergalatic Galileo Wannabee Laboratory.

And so hence, does not permit travel to Mars.

The article was pretty clear that fewer constituent particles
than expected were seen coming out, but lots of purportedly
Hawking radiation... indicating that the holes were evaporating.

What do you fear they are thinking of, permanent structures that
continue to absorb mass and growing larger? Apparently not the
case.
