1) Good luck.
2) The smallest known black holes have a mass the size of mount Everest. That, and you can't squeeze multiple atoms into the size of one atom, anyway.

No there are smaller ones called micro black holes, they collapse quickly because of their very small size but there is a lab somewhere thats been trying to recreate them by using accelerated particle collisions however even if it works they would be too small for this idea unless they found a way to make bigger ones.

Maybe if supposedly you could make a machine that exerts a very STRONG gravitational pull on a specific area you could make a beam ray. It would have to have a very powerful gravitational pull and be able to discreetly aim it wherever you want.

The focused gravity would cause light to warp and you might just end up opening a vortex to another dimension! Some scientist believe that Black Holes are portals to another dimension. Either way, I think it is quite clear that it is going to be impossible for a very long time.

It never hurts to plan ahead, Thomas

But I think it is unnecessary to plan centuries ahead-don't you?

No one said that to Da Vinici, but Da Vinci wasn't a 14 year old kid at his computer I suppose

If you ever plan to take cosmology or astrophysics in university, and go for a PhD like me, you quickly learn that it is not wise to plan centuries ahead, because what we understand about the universe and the way it works are changing by the year. You do not now what the global, or interplanetry, situation will at that time in the future.

I realize that. I was mostly kidding

I thought so. Da Vinchi was insane everyone who studies him knows that. But a great man nontheless.

i don't think da vinchi was insane...or at lest not how most people think of when they think of some one being insane...

That's true. Insanity is repeating actions over and over, expecting different results

Not necessarily, there are many variations of insanity-it also depends on what your personal views of insanity are. There are two main types of insanity: Manic and Demented. Manic is the classic association of insanity, bizarre behaviour, strange ideas ect. Demented is various types of paranoia, and psychopathic traits are also commonly associated with being Demented.

Anyway, we are vearing off topic here...

It's the same thing as lifting a box, just without using your hands

But there is quite a big difference between the two
