But given that it's so small, what would the gravitational forces be if you made a shell with a 100km radius? Or pick a number - surely at some point it might be practical to build something.
- xingyzt 6y agoSize of the object doesn’t matter. Gravitational force depends on its mass and how far away you are from the black hole. Standing on a shell ~6300 km above a black hole with the mass of the Earth is equivalent to standing on the Earth itself.
