Type Of Black Holes Created In Laboratory

Recommended Posts

Scientists in Maryland have created a kind of black home in their labs and hope to be able to learn more about them from it. The "dumb holes" are created when fluids flow faster than the speed of sound and then trap sound waves in them.

 

The researchers say "By reproducing the most important qualities of black holes in a fluid system, some of the predictions of quantum gravity can be tested and some paradoxes of the theory understood."

It's more of a "silence hole." Sound cannot escape.

 

Why you ask? So that they can be sold to teachers that want peace and quiet.

Heh, but then they wouldn't be able to teach anymore :D

 

Hey RAVE, I'm curious. You've been posting all kind of news at jkii.net for as long as I can remember... where do you get this stuff?

Well the theory is still the same, just this black hole isnt powerful enough to trap light.

Mostly Shortnews, but also from other places I find in my travels around the web :)
