Evaporation-dominated growth

forThis argument, if it holds, bears in favour of the claim.constitution →In warped brane-world models, micro black holes cease growing far below catastrophic mass.

The argument

Because linked claim, any micro black hole produced in such a scenario would reach a maximum mass near that critical threshold and then decay. The critical mass is tied to the size of extra-dimensional corrections to Newton's law, which laboratory gravity tests bound to sub-millimeter scales, placing the maximum far below any mass that could harm a planet.

Does it work?

Not yet evaluated.

Premises

SupportedThe evidence favors the claim, but the examination is incomplete or the evidence is indirect.constitution →Evaporation of warped brane-world micro black holes outpaces accretion above a small critical mass

Granting its premise, the inference goes through: if evaporation outpaces accretion above a small critical mass, growth is capped far below any harmful scale. The argument lives or dies on evaporation outpacing accretion above a small critical mass, which is not yet assessed and rests on a specific tidal-charged metric and luminosity law; it also presumes the holes evaporate at all, which for warped brane-localized black holes lacked a first-principles derivation. The caveat is that the conclusion covers only the evaporating case and says nothing about a hole that is stable.
