Quantum Gravity 118.3: Search Criteria For Small Solar System Black Holes |
From Osher Doctorow
For reasons like those of the last few Sections, it would be arguably
useful to be near a black hole, even a relatively small one. There
are a few possibilities at least to explore in our Solar System.
1. Some object shows signs of unusual aging via phase change.
2. Some object shows signs of unusual velocities.
3. Very massive objects even smaller than or equal to the Sun's mass
trigger partial or smaller phase transitions with partial
gravitational collapse. Jupiter and Saturn may be examples. These
may function as "semi-black holes" or "quasi-black-holes." The
enormous storms on Jupiter could be an indication of black-hole-type
tidal forces of somewhat lesser strength. This leads us to:
4. Some object shows signs of "almost" black hole level tidal forces.
5. The Sun itself through large flares and turbulence may show signs
of being a "partial black hole".
6. Some object shows signs of unusual chaos.
