pokes black hole C’mon, devour Earth.
It's wild that there is so much space between atoms (and inside them, between the elctron orbitals and the nucleus), and black holes are so incredibly dense, that a small black hole can fall all the way through the Earth and not hit enough matter to gain appreciable mass.
You got any links to explain this in some more detail?
Because this just causes my brain to jam when trying to comprehend...
Like what diameter of black hole are we talking?
And what is the critical mass of the black whole before it starts to cascade and grow?
