Wouldn't it be the opposite to an explosion?
If it goes wrong and they create a black hole under France...we'll all be sucked in and crushed to a pin prick.

Well yeah, but i'm guessing it'll be just as quick and painless.

Cheerful narrative to your guide to the end of the world

^ Sounds a bit like a Stephen Hawking sex change freak, but don't let it put you off.

Prepare to shit thyself.

Actually I believe not. Obviously I'm no expert on blackholes, but I watched a pbs thing on them, and apparently its theorized that the closer you get to a black hole, the more time slows down. Then right as you're about to enter, time stops all together, however people looking from the outside in would have seen it normally as if time hadn't slowed down. So really it would be a pretty horrific way for the world to go.

Thats really hard to comprehend, my guessing would have been that, since it takes 4 mins for the whole world to be consumed it was a pretty quick process. If you're right though that brief moment when you're looking upon it all would be amazing.

you mean that thing that happens when a person gets into a bad accident where everything seems like slow motion until the moment hits?

I always thought it was the other way round?
That outside observers would see the object passing into the black hole (past the event horizon) as if it was in slow motion.
:confused:

Edit: fixed that link btw.

I might be remembering wrong idk.^

At least we have spaghettification to look forward to. :)

That doesn't sound too far off the idea of parallel universes, something splitting and being in 2 different places at the same time. Maybe our particles go somewhere and we come out the same in a different world?
I may be talking crap.
