Q&A

Could you 'deconstruct' a blackhole by firing heavy metals into its orbit?

+0
−0

Using the process of 'pair production' and using the nature of a blackhole to separate and destroy one of the particles from that pair, would surrounding blackholes with heavy metals (which increase the chances of pair production occurring) allow, over a long enough period of time, enough mass to be 'freed' from the blackhole that it loses enough gravity to 'fail'?

The inspiration for this idea was, among many things, from this line on Wikipedia: "The probability of pair production in photon-matter interactions increases with photon energy and also increases approximately as the square of atomic number of the nearby atom."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production

I posted this here because I believe the mass 'freed' from a blackhole could literally be used to build entire galaxies, not just worlds.
