Schwarzchild Radius

[victory143]

What is the schwarzchild of a cubic strut in Kerbal space program.

[Aghanim]

You are kidding... you want us to calculate how small a cubic strut could be compressed before it becomes a black hole?

[victory143]

For science? I want to see if I can create a black hole For Comrade Jenkins's Warp-Drive project.

In flight, struts are massless, so the Schwarzchild radius is zero.

In flight, struts are massless, so the Schwarzchild radius is zero.

You're thinking of the other struts. Cubic struts still have mass and drag.

[Kermunist]

You can calculate the Schwarzchild radius for any object using

r = 1.48x10^-27 x m

Where m is the mass of the object in Kg, and 1.48x10^-27 is a short way of writing 0.00000000000000000000000000148.

The mass of the cubic octagonal strut is given on the wiki as 1Kg, giving a Schwarzchild radius of substantially smaller than an atom. Much smaller even than the protons and neutrons which make up the nucleus of the atom. So small that if you put it next to an atom, it would look like an atom next to a small moon.

It would also evaporate in a flash of exotic radiation.
