It occurs to me that if the [[Bose–Einstein condensate]] which causes the bosenova is caused to shrink beyond detection, how small would it have to be before it became a black hole? That is, if it shrinks to smaller than a its corresponding [[Schwarzschild radius]], it would in fact become a black hole, albeit a very small one. However, if there is no lower limit on how small it can get, logically it would have to reach a point where it would become a black hole. At that point it would radiate energy as [[Hawking radiation]]. It would lose mass quickly until it no longer had sufficient mass to be a black hole, at which point the result might be a tiny little explosion. After emerging from the black hole state, the original mass would no longer exhibit BEC behavior, so it would have to explode. Is that what a bosenova really is? sounds cool to me [[User:Rich.lewis|Rich.lewis]] 22:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC) |

:It is not believed that a black hole smaller than a [[planck mass]] is possible (all the BEC experiments are with very small amounts of matter). .. A romantic idea perhaps, but not likely. --[[User:72.165.205.81|72.165.205.81]] 06:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC) |

Is a bosenove a quantum black hole?
It occurs to me that if the Bose–Einstein condensate which causes the bosenova is caused to shrink beyond detection, how small would it have to be before it became a black hole? That is, if it shrinks to smaller than a its corresponding Schwarzschild radius, it would in fact become a black hole, albeit a very small one. However, if there is no lower limit on how small it can get, logically it would have to reach a point where it would become a black hole. At that point it would radiate energy as Hawking radiation. It would lose mass quickly until it no longer had sufficient mass to be a black hole, at which point the result might be a tiny little explosion. After emerging from the black hole state, the original mass would no longer exhibit BEC behavior, so it would have to explode. Is that what a bosenova really is? sounds cool to me Rich.lewis 22:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
