It only makes the black hole more massive. The bottom line is: If a regular black hole and an antimatter black hole got black-hole-married in space, they wouldn’t vanish.įeeding in antimatter won’t do any good, it’s just like regular matter or energy. If physicists could work out that math, then you could create microscopic antimatter black holes by smashing together anti-hydrogen particles, and the costs involved would dwarf the production of antimatter itself. It’s possible that the Large Hadron Collider is capable of creating microscopic black holes, although none have been created yet. Each collision creates a tiny handful of particles that could be collected and contained in a magnetic field to hold them in place and keep them from being annihilated.Īccording to NASA, a single gram of antihydrogen would cost about $62.5 trillion to create, the most expensive material we could possibly make on Earth. The collective momentum of the particle is converted into mass using Einstein’s famous e=mc2 calculation. Antimatter is produced in particle accelerators, protons are accelerated in an enormous ring, pushed to nearly the speed of light, and then smashed into each other’s faces. If these two objects came together, you’d end up with a black hole with twice the mass that you had before.Īlso, creating an antimatter black hole would be expensive. Want more black hole? Put things into the black hole. So all energy would just be turned instantaneously into more black hole. Of course, the gravity of a black hole is so immense that nothing, not even light can escape. The two would be annihilated and turn into pure energy.


Imagine a regular flavor and an antimatter flavor black hole with the same mass slamming together. Black holes turn everything, both matter and energy, into more black hole.
