Creating a black hole

[Nereidalbel]

If one wanted to create a black hole with a diameter of 2 yards (and the mass to match), how would you build that?

Buy enough Create (Very Dense Matter) to make 2x10^30 kg worth of mass.

Edit: oh, it was diameter, not radius; pick the calculation below then.

heres a calculator

2 yards is 1.8288 meters, radius is .9144 meters

That calculator says it would be 103x earth mass, a solar massed black hole would be 2950 meters radius, and an earth mass one would be less than a centimeter radius.

Prepare to be instantly crushed and consumed unless it's got a decently long range.

The player who wants to do this is on a rather suicidal character, so...he won't be thinking about that part ahead of time. I, on the other hand, will be going Insubstantial and then Warping out of there.

Needless to say, nobody is allowed to use any powers on this scale anywhere near the Earth. Long-standing rule in the group and such.

Snatcher (Creation +100%; Large Item +50%; More Weight: 1.5 X 10^25lbs, +735%) [788]

That seems considerably cheaper than using Create.

Yes, it is considerably cheaper. In a lot of circumstances, Snatcher will be better and cheaper than Create.

That's a shame, creations are unstable and poof, but snatched items last until

The objects you snatch remain until you voluntarily return them or use your Snatcher ability again.

Oops, they forgot the snatcher might die before dismissing the item.

Won't the black hole be unstable anyway? Hawking radiation and all that?

At 103 Earth masses, it'll stick around for a long time, even if it doesn't get to start eating a planet or two.

6.221789e+56 years, to be exact.
