If a random PBH of 9mm traveled at near light speed through Earth, would it even pull anything into the event horizon that is not within close range of that 9mm

If a random PBH of 9mm traveled at near light speed through Earth, would it even pull anything into the event horizon that is not within close range of that 9mm diameter?
For example, it travels through Earth and then leaves a 9mm hole throughout the planet.
- Enginerrrd 7y agoNo it wouldn't, but I'm thinking it would be able to transfer some kinetic energy to the earth which would be a very very bad thing.
- perl4ever 7y agoI'm not good at physics, but it seems to me if this 9mm object had the mass of earth, then at a distance of about 6400 km it would exert 1G, and at minimal distance, it would exert about a zillion Gs. So even assuming it didn't pull in matter per se, the gravity and tidal forces ought to destroy earth about as effectively as colliding with a regular earth sized planet.
