I read an article last year where university scientists split a gold atom which produced, for an extremely short time, a black hole. The gravitational levels of the event were enormous, although, fractional to a full-sized black hole.

Good, good, with some of these new finds in technology mabye they can blow up the earth accidentally before we pollute it to death on our own.

Yeah, accidental black holes and temperatures exceeding that of the sun seems to have some heaving connotations... Tee Hee (The saber-toothed squirrel from Ice Age must be involved somewhere.)

Full size black hole? Isn't that like being a bit pregnant?

If this truly happened, it would be the biggest science discovery in over a century. I presume this is a joke?

Gee - where have you guys been? There was a Black Hole Diode (BHD) introduced sometime around 1980-81. The opposite of a Light Emitting Diode (LED), it absorbed all ambient light when forward-biased. Unfortunately, since it absorbs all light, no photo of it in operation has ever been taken.

The BHD is the brainchild of Agustus Franken, who developed the Noise Emitting Diode (NED) just a few years earlier. This device was not as successful, since it only emitted a loud noise once when you applied a 200vDC current across the inputs.

Agustus was also credited with the development of the Confetti Generator when he tried to filter AC current with electrolytic capacitors.
