UK Scientists To Create Black Holes, Scientists are set to mimic black holes in the laboratory to find out how matter and energy interact. Scientists to create 'black holes', British scientists are to mimic black holes in the laboratory as part of a £2.35 million project looking at how matter and energy interact. The team from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh will produce laser pulses whose energy is measured in trillions of watts.
They will be used to simulate conditions found around a black hole, a place where gravity is so strong that light cannot escape and the normal laws of physics break down. Lead scientist Daniele Faccio said: "What we are creating is the same space-time structure which characterises a black hole. But we're doing this with a light pulse, so we don't actually have the mass which is associated with black holes.
