The Black Hole Bomb and Black Hole Civilizations
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell・2 minutes read
Black holes are powerful entities in the universe, with spinning black holes having a unique property called angular momentum, leading to the formation of a ringularity at their core. The Ergosphere surrounding the ringularity allows for the extraction of energy from a black hole, potentially providing a significant energy boost for a rocket or creating a powerful energy source or weapon.
Insights
- Black holes can be exploited as a potential energy source through methods like extracting energy from their Ergosphere, offering a way to boost a rocket's energy while affecting the black hole's rotation.
- Constructing a mirror around a fast-spinning black hole could lead to the creation of a powerful energy generation system or weapon by utilizing the super radiant scattering effect of electromagnetic waves bouncing between the mirror and the black hole.
