The narrator, a Game Theory host, critiques the Pokedex entry for Gardevoir, a Pokémon, which claims it can create a small black hole to protect its trainer. The host argues that this is scientifically impossible, as creating a black hole would require a massive amount of matter, equivalent to the mass of a star, and even then, it would evaporate quickly due to Hawking radiation. Furthermore, if Gardevoir were to create a stable black hole with the mass of the moon, it would destroy the Earth by consuming everything in its path and causing the planet to explode due to increased heat and pressure. The host concludes that the Pokedex entry is wrong and that Gardevoir's abilities are exaggerated.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. The Pokedex is a digital encyclopedia in the Pokémon series that contains information about the creatures in the game.
2. The Pokedex entries are written by the professors in the Pokémon series.
3. Gardevoir is a Pokémon that has the power to create small black holes, according to its Pokedex entry.
4. Black holes are regions of space-time where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.
5. Black holes are not actually black, but rather invisible, as they absorb all light that enters them.
6. Black holes are formed when a massive star collapses in on itself, causing a massive amount of matter to be compressed into a tiny space.
7. The Large Hadron Collider is a machine that smashes subatomic particles together to study the fundamental nature of matter and the universe.
8. Scientists have been able to create microscopic black holes in the Large Hadron Collider, but they evaporate quickly.
9. Black holes emit radiation, known as Hawking radiation, which causes them to lose mass over time.
10. A black hole with the mass of the moon would be incredibly dense and would still be microscopic.
11. If a black hole were to be created on Earth, it would likely evaporate quickly due to Hawking radiation.
12. If a black hole were to be created with the mass of the moon, it would be stable, but it would still be incredibly small and would not be visible to the naked eye.
13. If a black hole were to be created with the mass of the moon and were to be placed at the center of the Earth, it would consume the planet, causing it to heat up and eventually explode.
14. Gardevoir's Pokedex entry in Pokémon Emerald states that it does not feel the pull of gravity.
