Hello, everyone! Mikhail here to give you all another Mega Man calc. This time, it shall be on good ol’ Galaxy Man’s black hole! Now, the way this will be calculated will be a bit different. Why? Well, let’s give his bio from the Mega Man Maniax supplementary materials a look:
Rough Translation of bottom right corner blurb:
‘An assistant robot at a space research institute that has high computing power and performs cosmic-scale physics simulations. The Black Hole Bomb was designed with this computing power, and upon detonation, it simulates a gravitational collapse creating a small black hole that sucks in surrounding enemies. The generated black hole will disappear after a certain period of time as its mass is released as electromagnetic waves and other energy in accordance with the theory of Hawking Radiation.’
So, look at the last line right there. It references Hawking Radiation and references it having mass which evaporates rapidly. This is very important because this shows that the black hole, regardless of whether or not there are glaring contradictions, obeys Stephen Hawking’s theory of black hole evaporation/collapse. So we can still get something out of this. We can treat this black hole as if it were a real one, especially since Galaxy Man can perform simulations of cosmic phenomena that are the same scale as them. And that’s what I’m gonna do: use these theories to get a result from Galaxy Man’s black holes.
Fortunately, this should be easy given we have the equations for a black hole’s time until evaporation (M and Mo are mass of the black hole and mass of the sun):
Alright… We don’t exactly know the timeframe, so I’ll just assume a timeframe from the game which lasts around 5 seconds until it fully evaporates.
Solving for M gives us…
And since the mass was explicitly being converted into energy & all that…
(392,354 kg)*(299792458 m/s)^2 = 3.53e22 Joules or 8.437 Teratons of TNT (Country level)
Not bad.
I will do something extra, however. Since we can see down below that the black hole has a much bigger event horizon than what would be expected of a black hole of the mass calced above, I will calculate the mass of the black hole as a high-end.
Okay, I shall assume the black hole has a diameter of 2 meters.
Mass: 6.73317e26 kg
Energy due to Hawking Radiation: 6.05147140681537843e+43 Joules or 0.65 FOE (Large Star level)
Smokiiiiiiin~!
EDIT (24/08/2023): So, given the bomb follows a principle similar to gravitational collapses, I can do KE for the mass of the black holes moving at 0.23c. So… Yeah, I’ll do that.
Relativistic Kinetic Energy of Black Hole Collapse: 1667054104300980563527057017811850374395073 Joules or 398 Quettatons of TNT (Star level)
Briiiiilliiiiaaaaant…
