If it were small enough, it could only suck in a few atoms at a time. So, it could take a substantial amount of time to expand in the beginning.

  Would it grow exponentially? Would it be possible to cut around it and launch it out into space?

    I've heard from some pretty reliable sources that a small black hole WAS created, but gravity pulled it towards the Earth core. It simply got away and now they are trying to ignore the incident. Who knows how long it will take it to eat Earth inside out?

      How would they even be able to tell if they'd done it?

      Hmm interesting. What happens if a mini black hole is launched into the sun. Is it possible it just gets consumed?
      • hugh 18y ago
        The black hole would consume the sun eventually, yes.

    You couldn't cut around it, because it would fall out the bottom of any container you tried to put it in. Perhaps you could give it a charge (by firing electrons at it) and then confine it electrostatically or magnetically.
