Man-made black holes, sounds a bit dicey to me.
A team of physicists have created an artificial black hole in their lab that traps sound instead of light, in an attempt to detect the theoretical Hawking radiation.
The radiation, proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking more than 30 years ago, causes black holes to evaporate over time.
Astrophysical black holes are created when matter becomes so dense that it collapses to a point called a singularity.
The black hole’s gravity is so great that nothing – not even light – can escape from a boundary around it called an event horizon.
