destruction of black holes

[Kulf_Boba]

If a character moves a galaxy at FTL speeds, they get 3-C, even if their feat violates the laws of physics, why don't feats of destroying black holes count towards a rating?

I mean, most of the time writers portray them as impressive feats, there's no point in writing them off.

Because there is no way for us to calculate how much power is required to destroy a black hole.

There are so many things that we cannot calculate exactly but we calculate them the same, we can assume that if it has a mass of 1000 times that of the sun, then it is 1000 above 4-C.

That's not how black holes work though. They are infinitely dense and have infinite amounts of gravity. If a Black Hole has a mass of 5 Suns, and you threw 50 Suns worth of force at it, it would simply absorb it. You cant calculate how to destroy a black hole like that.

At best black holes can be used to calculate lifting strength.

Moving a galaxy could be calc'ed. Possibly. Maybe?

Black holes are complicated

Black holes lose a very small amount of mass over millions of years through a process called quantum Hawking radiation. When they lose too much, the black hole explodes and evaporates.

So we can assume that when a character destroys a black hole, they're only doing in moments what Hawking radiation would take millions of years to do, plus when this happens in fiction, it's often just collapsing the event horizon.


And as for the calculation of the attack potency per destruction that I mentioned, it is the same method that is used for the creation of black holes, so it is an accepted method as an alternative to E=MC.

That still doesn't mean we can calc black holes. The characters we would be widely addressing are destroying black holes with sheer force or energy. We can't assume every character who can destroy a black hole can speed up Hawking Radiation by millions of years.

Equating the total amount of radiation a black hole would have to give off to disappear to the amount of energy it would take to destroy it wouldn't work at all.

No, you can't. Black Hole singularity is infinitely dense and is (at least currently) a point (no surface or volume). Destroying it require you bypass the gavitational force that can bind material at infinitely dense state, which simply put, infinite amount of power and energy which is High 3-A at worst lowball, you can even high ball it to Low 2-C
