Black holes are stars with a lot of mass causing huge gravitational pulls. It has to do with how much mass there is, and not just how dense something is. An atom just wouldn't have enough mass to form a black hole.
Right, which is why I said "not just how dense something is," because you can't just compact something and ignore the mass part. It's like ignoring mass, and focusing on acceleration to judge a force.
Oh, and btw Egg, your calculation, researched information, or guess for the size at which Earth would need to be compressed into to form a black hole is way off. I actually wrote a Mathematics paper on the physical and gravitational geometry of black holes. By using the Schwarzschild radius (2MG/c^2) to calculate the gravitational radius of Earth, you get an answer of 8.8389*10^-12 mm (or 8.8389*10^-6 km). Meaning that the Earth would have to be compress to have a radius of that size. Better polish up on your math before you make any more threads!

You know I was mad at this post for a minute, but then I remembered the thread in which it was posted.

Grade 10. I only survived 19 pages because of excessively large tables and a ton of diagrams and calculations that I had to show. And my references were a page and a bit
Yoshi021 wrote:And what grade did you end up getting?
96% on that paper and I just wrote my final exam on Friday so I probably won't get my marks until the end of July, but I think somewhere between 90-92% overall
Wow can't wait to see all the kids in your school get fucked in the ass by their science professors when your school didn't prepare them for college properly (not literally, ok maybe some of them after they fail their paper for not proper format).
