Micro Black Hole - Fiction

Fiction

• In David Brin's novel Earth an artificial micro black hole slips into the core of the earth.
• In Dan Simmons's novels Ilium and Olympos, a major landmark is "Paris Crater", the site where a man made micro black hole's containment field failed, and the black hole sank toward the centre of the earth before collapsing (presumably in accordance with the Hawking radiation theory), leaving a volcanic crater in its wake.
• In the short story How We Lost the Moon, A True Story by Frank W. Allen, which is actually written by Paul J. McAuley, a micro black hole is accidentally created on the Moon and gradually consumes it.
• Larry Niven's Hugo Award-winning stories The Hole Man and The Borderland of Sol deal with "quantum black holes".
• In Martin Caidin's novel Star Bright, an object is created during an implosion-fusion test that has essentially the properties of a micro black hole, though it is not given that name. The object is eventually destroyed, but the resulting explosion destroys a huge area around it.
• In Steven R. Donaldson's 5 volume Gap series of books he presents singularity grenades as anti-spaceship cosmic weapons that release a micro black hole on impact with a ship.
• In Bungie's award-winning Halo Series, the method of faster-than-light travel for spacecraft is through an nondimensional domain known as 'Slipspace', and is made possible by ripping the space-time continuum by having slipspace drives artificially generating thousands of micro black holes that quickly evaporate via Hawking radiation.
• In the computer game Master of Orion II one of the weapons a player can use is a micro black hole generator, which is used to immobilize and destroy enemy ships.
• In a promotional video for the video game Portal 2, the Aperture Science Handheld Dual Portal Device is shown to have a miniature black hole and event horizon approximation ring.
• In Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation, a video game by Banpresto, the original Huckebein is using black hole engine as power source which eventually exploded during test run.
• In the Star Trek universe, the Romulans are known to utilize artificial black holes (generally referred to as "artificial quantum singularities") as a power source. In at least two episodes, malfunctions cause "temporal anomalies" (abnormal time flow).
• John Titor, a self proclaimed time traveler that posted on internet message boards in 2001, talked about two micro black holes ("micro singuilarities" in his terms) as being the base element for a time traveling machine.
