If we could make Jupiter a black hole, would that be stable enough to not radiate away? Other big body we have access to is the sun and I feel we would suffer more side effects of turning that into a hole compared to Jupiter

I'm pretty sure if we made Jupiter a black hole we'd throw off our orbit and have much bigger problems.

Wouldn't a Jupiter-mass black hole have the same gravitational effects as Jupiter and absolutely nothing would be affected?

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

My point was more that we'd probably have to increase the mass to be able to make it a black hole, as we don't have the ability to compress it to a singularity.

Black holes aren't vacuums, nothing would change if the mass was equivalent

Yes, but you'd more than likely have to increase the mass of Jupiter to make it a black hole.

That wasn't part of the hypothetical though
