If it's a tiny black hole, then we have a chance of seeing Hawking radiation. There's a very good chance that it will just look like what the theory predicts. So it would be enormously interesting and well, you know, revolutionary. If we saw either no Hawking radiation where we should or we saw Hawking radiation but it was a different kind of thing than we expected, any one of those would be super, super interesting.
Welcome to the November 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
