And over enormous timescales, they should evaporate all this stuff.
So we know the black holes will evaporate.
And if I made a tiny, tiny, tiny black hole, that should evaporate too.
So if I were able to make these under controlled conditions, this would teach us a lot about black holes.
And in principle, it would be the first step toward understanding better what might be inside of a black hole.
Well, this is where it gets complicated because keep in mind what I said it takes to make a black hole.
You need a kind of a violent event.
But really what you need is you need to pack a large enough amount of stuff, either mass or energy density within a certain amount of space, and this would naturally make a black hole.
So if I have two protons and I get them close enough together and smack them together, in principle, I can make a black hole.
The problem, though, is that I would have to reach an energy, you know, a collision energy that is so high that it's outside of the realm of our civilization at this moment.
Hmm.
However, there's this idea that this energy at which you would make black holes, it could in fact be much, much lower because there could be extra dimensions of space that are everywhere around us all the time and tiny and curled up.
Now, this is a bit strange.
Oh, yeah.
So at first, that doesn't make much sense.
But you can think about it like, for example, imagine you're watching your friend on a tightrope.
Maybe your friend's a tightrope walker.
She's walking on a tightrope between two buildings.
And you're down below, like in Manhattan.
You're looking up and watching.
