Star Powered Energy

Does any one Else Think Building a Star On earth is a bad Idea?? Do not Stars when they Die Become Red Drawfves then Black holes... I'm pretty sure having a black hole on earth would be a bad idea. Plus They already Estimate it will Die Fast would that not mean We would get that Black Hole Sooner.

Alright, going back to Earth/Space Science a few years back, as I recall (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), black holes and supernovas only form with the largest stars. Most just die down into dwarfs.

[Enigmatic]

I'm not much of a scientist, but Tak is correct to the extent of my knowledge. Furthermore, a black hole really doesn't act like we see in movies or on TV. If our sun were to turn into a black hole tomorrow, Earth wouldn't suddenly be sucked in, it would continue to revolve as normal. A black whole doesn't exert any more gravitational pull than it did as a larger object. Or so I understand it. So, if a small black hole were some how created it wouldn't destroy the earth. Also, a star becomes a black hole or goes nova only when it runs out of enough fissionable material to keep going. If we somehow built a star we could avoid those problems, incredibly unlikely as they may be, by "feeding" it.

Man once again attempting to push the boundries of sanity.

We only guess at how black holes work. A theoretical physicist will tell you that they know precisely what they are talking about. Of course, they make their money by presenting theories impossible to proove or disproove.

If it's all the same, I'll stick with good old renewables, like that big hot orangy thing in the sky that, with good solar cell technology, could keep us going long enough until we can travel the stars... theoretically.

[Enigmatic]

Well, yes, that would be the cheaper and more sensible thing to do. But I mean, come on, man-made star. That's cool, right?

[Cerb]

Well yes. It's cool as heck.

Of course, if it goes wrong and we all get turned inside out... well that's kinda cool too.

[Enigmatic]

I can think of worse ways to end the planet. Well, at least less spectacular ways.

[The Theban Legion]

You know if it works we could have theoretical world peace if we apply the theory that the only thing we are waring over is energy right now. Kinda like that Iron Man 2 plot.

[The Republic of Exal]

Yes, it would be an EXTREMELY bad idea. If they did, black holes WOULD result. The heat would also probably turn the Earth into a fireball! However, I think they should keep with the research and find a way to get energy from a star lightyears away without moving it!

[Unodosdos]

Wouldn't it be cool if we could all one day have a little star powering our house? Talk about solar power.
