Thousands of mini black holes bombard the Earth every day
Luckily the black holes are so small that they would take longer than the age of the universe to swallow the Earth whole.

Would mimi black holes have cat ears? No, wait, that would be neko mimi black holes. Mimi black holes must just have ears. Would they be the balck holes we've only heard about but never found?
Black holes don't "gobble" mass. They aren't a vacuum that soaks up matter, they simply had a lot already. For example, if our sun turned into a black hole, we wouldn't suddenly fall into it, our orbit would remain the same, albeit, it'd be quite cold now. That's why this sound bogus. There's no way it could gobble the planet up, they are made of massive particles (atoms as opposed to neutrinos), and have a size themselves.
err,
you are partially right.
They attract matter normally.
a black hole, as i expect you know, is pretty much just something dense enough such that there is no nonzero size at which they do not continue to contract.
if something fell towards it, it might pass the event horizon, after which it would be (mostly) impossible for it to leave after that point.
that is not so say that the event horizon is the black hole
after it passes that it it continues to.... More
That explains my missing socks
if mimi black holes were created during the big bang how there still around, how are form because if they are aroud they most be formig.
Just get me my Thor's Hammer.
What a crock! This is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for recognition.
i thought the smaller the black hole the quicker they "evaporate" via hawing radiation? nano or smaller holes would last for a blink of an eye.
Agreed, small black holes would radiate very quickly, even at high velocity, in a Quantum Electro-Dynamical model. That is to say that if these small black holes are detected, they will pose evidence against hawking radiation, and QED in general. (Very unlikely in my opinion, but worth looking for)
Maybe these black holes haven't disappeared yet due to Hawking radiation because they used to be larger when they were created during the big bang. Could Dark Enegry really be Hawking's radiation from all the black holes decaying? Just saying...
Here's for hoping evidence against QED prompts Feynman to raise from the dead and wreak horrible vengeance upon the nonbelievers.
