Why on Earth would somebody so something like that? And did they use those 'weapons' BTW?

Why on Earth would somebody so something like that? And did they use those 'weapons' BTW?

 

First of all, they're not on Earth and that's the whole point, know one knows why.

 

Who knows?

It's just an expression antimatter. Jeez!!!

I know it's a figure of speech...calm down...

you completely missed my point in a bout of frustration.

 

My point was that there would be no reason that us humans on Earth could find.

This book sounds like Crichton...

Wouldn't the black holes either cancel out or evaporate? Otherwise, that's a really neat concept. Maybe you could make a black hole binary in order to keep them from canceling out... Just a thought.

What do you mean "cancel out"? Why would they?

If you're referring to the antimatter composition, it would only annihilate upon contact.

 

Read up on some Stephen Hawking, they don't evaporate that fast.

 

This IS a binary system consisting of two black holes...

I did work out the masses, assumeing they where about 1cm in diameter, but got bored so didn't post the answer (which I've now forgotten), and the question that struck me was "how the hell would you lift the thing"...

How exactly did you work it out? I'm curious

 

I don't think you were supposed to lift it, err, well, see the science breaks down as the book reaches the end, though it was entertaining.

I just put numbers into the schwartzchild radius equation....

Ah okay, I was thinking something like that, but for some reason I was drawing a blank.

Thanks

wouldn't the "antti-Graviton" from one interact with the Gravitons of its opposite ? and create a no gravity field?
