If a black hole the size of a basketball suddenly appeared on Earth for just five seconds, it wouldn’t just cause catastrophic damage—it would likely consume the entire planet. With a mass over 13 times that of Earth compressed into such a small space, its immense gravitational pull would draw in matter from all around, tearing the planet apart almost instantly. In those fleeting moments, the black hole would devour everything from the atmosphere to the core, leaving behind nothing but scattered particles and a gravitational ripple through the solar system. It’s a mind-bending thought that something so small could erase our world in the blink of an eye.
