StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

I'm going to do anything come May.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

In a recent conversation you had about micro black holes, it had me wondering about interstellar travel.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

How could you travel vast distances while being sure to avoid these tiny black holes?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

And what time dilation or other unintended consequences would exist?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Or do they radiate away fast enough not to pose any problems?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Because it's compressing on itself?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

The surface area?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Specifically why?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Don't duck the question.

Don't be a politician.

StarTalk Radio

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

The text...

StarTalk Radio

So we packed a lot in there in terms of direct expression, or do they radiate fast enough?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Yes, is the answer.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Not to pose any problems.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

That's the answer, yes.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

That's the answer, because of the dilation.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries - Black Hole Universe

Okay, got it.
