It’s XKCD. A scientist who makes a comic strips, and this series is him answering questions, most of which are highly hypothetical, submitted by his readers.

The series is named ‘What If’, not ‘How Could’.

"the hypothetical tenth planet" h Similar: theoretical speculative conjectured imagined notional suppositional supposed assumed presumed putative made up unreal academic h Opposite: real actual Logic denoting or containing a proposition of the logical form if p then q. noun noun: hypothetical; plural noun: hypotheticals a hypothetical proposition or statement. "officials refuse to discuss military policy except in coy hypotheticals"```

To you, what is the difference between the moon being turned into a black hole and being replaced by a black hole with the same mass?

Also, the idea of Randall Munroe of XKCD having to resort to clickbait is hilarious. He’s gotta be in the top 10 most famous scientists alive.

black holes can also be small, actually, it’s based on a ratio of mass to diameter
