It is relevant because the limitation to our measurement capability means we can't know most of the digits. We can't confirm experimentally that a given mass can be composed of "multiple possible combinations of objects whose

Alien 3 is a masterpiece. The acting, visuals and the music are like nothing else. I understand people got pissed when they ditched the surviving characters from Aliens. But in Alien 3 it all makes sense and the film stands on its own.

But why do you assume two objects of same mass but different composition will add the same mass to the black hole? Different composition means different interactions during the fall and different amount of radiated energy. Infinite number o

Casimir effect prediction had a good theoretical grounding and testable prediction (force between parallel conducting planes). It was clear the effect (not the theory behind it) was is in principle testable in a lab.
