Gardevoir's Black Hole Theory/Science

[MadHappy]

NOTE:this contains a lot of black hole information¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Now, we all saw the new banner on the site. The one with a Gardevoir creating a black hole. It's not a surprise, as her PokeDex entry reads:

 

Quote

Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life.

The title of episode 18 is, as we all know, "The Void", and I would not be surprised if we see a Gardevoir, either a PULSE-Gardevoir or our favourite Gossip Gardevoir creating a black hole.

 

Before the theory, let's begin by asking: what's a black hole?

 

By definition, a black hole is a region of spacetime, from which nothing, not even light, can escape. So, bad news if it happens. A black hole appears when massive stars collapses into itself at the end of their cycle. The result creates a supernova too, but we're not interested in it. Black Holes cannot be seen, due to the strong gravity which pulls light into the middle of the hole, thus appearing black. The boundary of a black hole beyond which nothing can escape is called an Event Horizon. The most amazing part of a black hole is the Singularity, the "heart" of a black hole. The Singularity is a one-dimension point with an huge mass in an infinitely small space, where the laws of physics stop to operate. It is speculated that black holes can be portals to another universes, a wormhole, but first you'd have to survive being stretched as thin as a spaghetti, due to the black hole's gravitational pull, and shorten back to normal.

 

Enough about black holes physics and science. Let's return to our universe.

 

To create a black hole, Gardevoir would have to mass subatomic particles together, as it happens when a star collapses. To do this, it's said she uses her psychokinetic powers to do so.

Basically using telekinesis to mash particles together.

Only there is a problem.

During this process, micro black holes can appear, but disintegrate quickly, due to matter being consumed. A black hole will have just as much mass as the particles used to make it. Not a lot, mind you. Black holes lose mass due to something called Hawking Radiation. Stephen Hawking proved that black holes emit radiation, and radiation has mass. So, as a black hole emits radiation, it looses it's mass, it gets smaller. 

If Gardevoir could create a black hole, it would disappear in seconds, doing nothing to protect it's trainer. Maybe if it squished the moon into something microscopic, then, yeah.

Only, if something like that would happen, well...

 

Let's say Gardevoir use something as big as the moon to make a black hole. The object will be squished down until it would look like a pebble. A pebble with the weight of the moon.

Remember, black holes are created my consuming mass. So the pebble black hole would still have the mass of the moon. And if it would be on the Earth, ... more bad news.

 

The black hole would fall, as it's still affected by Earth's gravity, only it would not stop when hitting the ground. It would continue to devour and devour, reaching the center of the Earth, and begin consuming everything, growing in size as it consumes more and more mass. 

If you think a the black hole growing the size of the Earth is bad, ... you know the drill.

 

As the matter is consumed by the black hole, inside it, apart from becoming part of the hole, it compresses. And when you compress matter, it heats up, creating pressure. Imagine inflating a balloon the size of the Earth. What happens of you inflate it too much? *POP*

 

So the Earth would be destroyed before we get squashed under the infinite pressure of a black hole. Good news, I guess?

 

So either Gardevoir creates black holes too small to do be stable, disintegrating from existince, or she creates black holes large enough to be stable, and completely destroys the Earth in the process. But at least it kills anything that would protect the Earth, so mission accomplished?
