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?

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

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.

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

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.
