A schwarschild radius of 0.5 meters corresponds to about 56 Earth masses. So Richard must have accreted a bunch of mass before he collapsed.

[-] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 7 months ago

Or maybe he accreted the mass after collapsing?

Alternatively, maybe that's just the weight of his massive ego?

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 9 points 7 months ago

Your mom is so fat, were she to collapse into a black hole her schwarzchild radius would be 0.5 meters. Does not quite roll of the tongue, does it?

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Your mom's schwarzchild radius is nearly as big as she is!

the cat is struggling to not fall in but tbethe people are unaffected, implying that either:

  1. Richard is capable of controlling their gravitational pull, and just hates cats
  2. The people have learned to resist gravity.

I think Richard is allergic to cats. Everyone knows that cats are attracted to people who are allergic to them

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

The selective attraction exerted on the cat by the Richard black hole reveals that Richard is allergic to cats, as cats are attracted to people allergic to them [1].

I vote for option 1, since fluids are also unaffected by his gravity

Also a slight correction, maybe Richard LOVE cats

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago
  1. The cat had the zoomies, was running toward Richard, got spooked, turned to run away digging their carpet destroying knife hands into the carpet, and this is the still shot of them primed to reach escape velocity going away from Richard
[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Or ... Their greater mass renders them less affected than the tiny cat.

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That's not how gravity works. It's proportional to your own mass.

[-] elrik@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Richard evaporated, almost instantaneously.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months ago

Into gamma rays

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

The cat is a nice detail.

Black holes aren't like magnets

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Boy are you wrong

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Right. Magnets only work on ferrous metals. Black holes will suck anything in, even light.

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Saying they suck things in isn't really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It's just gravity.

Also, magnets don't only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that's how we have electricity.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

More accurately things fall into black holes, but we're just talking about a comic.

[-] chumbalumber 3 points 7 months ago

What about the comic made you think it was implying that?

[-] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 13 points 7 months ago

I think they're implying that a black hole the mass of a person has the same gravitational attraction that the person had before collapsing (negligible).

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

What's the opposite of a black hole?
That's me ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘‰

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months ago

A white hole, emitting mass and energy. You vomit a lot?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

No but i do spew a bunch of bullshit all the time. lol

[-] ragica@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Here is the novelization of the cartoon... sort of. As She Climbed Across the Table by Jonathan Lethem.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Not a physicist, but how long would a blackhole of that size last lol?

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Hard to be completely sure.. but an earth mass black hole is roughly an inch across.

That's probably a Jupiter mass black hole.. things would be a lot more wild at that party.

Honestly this is an event horizon.. not the black hole itself and I'm too fucking lazy to do the schwazchild calculations maybe it matters at this scale.. maybe not.
