What would happen to you if a black hole the size of a coinsuddenly appeared near you?Short answer: you’d die.Long answer: it depends.Is it a black hole with the mass of a coin,or is it as wide as a coin?Suppose a US nickel with the mass of about 5 gramsmagically collapsed into a black hole.This black hole would have a radius of about 10 to the power of −30 meters.By comparison, a hydrogen atom is about 10 to the power of −11 meters.So the black hole compared to an atom is as small asan atom compared to the Sun.Unimaginably small!And a small black hole would also have an unimaginably short lifetimeto decay by Hawking radiation.It would radiate away what little mass it has in 10 to the power of −23 seconds.Its 5 grams of mass will be converted to 450 terajoules ...
