Has anyone tried sending information into black holes using lasers yet? It'd be convenient if ET's only lived in black holes, although perhaps a little lonely,

Has anyone tried sending information into black holes using lasers yet?
It'd be convenient if ET's only lived in black holes, although perhaps a little lonely, too.

We would need one at a pretty uncomfortably close distance to perform this experiment in acceptable time and without needing insanely large amounts of energy. Makes me wonder how close the next known black hole is. The center of the milky way?
- CGamesPlay 8y ago> The closest black hole we know of is V616 Monocerotis, also known as V616 Mon. It's located about 3,000 light years away. [1] So no, because we haven’t had lasers for 3000 years yet, and the black holes we can create here on earth last for microseconds.

- mokus 8y agoWe can create black holes here in earth? I’d love to read more about that if you have any starting points
- CGamesPlay 8y agoLooks like it is only a theoretical possibility and only if we have more than 4 dimensions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_black_hole
