HAHA
It's funny cause you're clueless :v:
Good luck trying to weaponise a Bose Einstein condensate.
[QUOTE=Shadowstone;27641221]Very interesting experiment they did, actually. Can't wait until they're able to study Hawking Radiation with this; it could possibly be a groundbreaking experiment in the field of black holes.[/QUOTE]
I'm quite sure this wont work, as to my knowledge Hawking Radiation depends on spacetime metric. They can only find a similar phenomenon for phonons but it's not the proposed Hawking Radiation of Black Holes.
Could it not be used as a some sort of reference, or some such?
They should have not done it. Now the terrorists will steal it and terrorize the world asking for money.
My latest blueprint has been flawed.

This Silent Hole will suck up my booster.

That's a potential in many things science discovers. We can't exactly halt all progress at that one risk. It is after-all, preventable.
Figure out how to weaponize it and set it off at a Justin Bieber concert.

Unless you want to throw a container with it in it at some guy and just bruise him..Haha
Oh an it requires a laser to target it right? So that would just be a big container with nothing in it.
Could this somehow be used as a super-silencer for guns? If it can be miniaturized then you could fit it to the end of a gun and there would be 0 sound, right?

It can't, since for creating a BEC you need a a good vacuum and cooling-lasers and the gun must be within the BEC. But a BEC is limited in size, a few µm wide.
Holy shit, that must've taken a lot of energy.

No because a BEC requires extremely cold temperatures
aVoN beat me to it it seems, explained it better too.
Unfortunate how it'd only create a similar effect... would have been nice to see a study on Hawking Radiation from this.

There wouldn't be hawking radiation, maybe a phononic (I think that would be the word) "equivalent". This isn't a black hole like you think of when you hear 'black hole'. It's just with sound, nothing else.

Reports indicate that it is now a Kosher Black Hole.
I wish the media would stop equating "event horizon" with "black hole"
it leads to dumb comments like these:
[QUOTE=iusehax;27640823]I am all cool with the ideas and theory/computer animations of this but actually trying to make these things is cool but don't get me wrong if something happens it won't end well.[/QUOTE]

"silent hole" would be a more accurate alternative, now that I think about it.

Humorously, a common alternative name for the sonic hole is the 'Dumb hole'. (In the sense of not speaking I'd imagine)
Considering that Bose Einsteinium condensates are pretty new to science, this isn't surprising at all.
Also, proud to have understood every word in the article.

Also, this is very unlikely to be weaponized, you have to get within a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero to get a Bose Einstein condensate, that needs a massive amount of equipment and energy, which we won't be able to fit on anything in a useful way.
