Imagine you create a cylinder, maybe twice as high as its radius, and then place within it a smaller version of the cylinder, and then charge these two to be very very negative. What material? I don;t know. Something that holds lots and lots of electrons, Probably a metal that can run electrons through it at enormous rates, or a nonmetal that can hold lots of electrons and make a heavy duty negative charge. This is a thought experiment, so just imagine that this material is producible (as it probably will be in a few years with the rate of technological advancements these years. but anyway, back to the cylinder. Fill the space between them with negative particles (anti protons maybe, or something with significant mass). We want something that can obey the ideal gas laws, but also be compacted easily, so anti-hydrogen seems ideal for usage. Now, e have a gas that is in a confined space, but not allowed to touch the cylinders due to electronic charge.

Now what do we do? We make a superfluid and freeze them to the point that they super condense into a "hollow" black hole (with the inner cylinder being the hollow part).

When you freeze something, volume decreases.

Freeze it far enough, and it becomes an almost volume-less superfluid.

This is basic chemistry. Volume is proportional to temperature.

This is why absolute 0 is unreachable, because there would be no volume, but then it wouldn't exist.

So freeze it as far as humanly possible, and it has so much mass in such small volume that you get a black hole. Basic physics and chemistry.

So, it makes perfect sense. If you didn't know this, I'm sorry for confusing you.

Also antimatter is easier to destroy then with ionic gas, mainly because it can be just anti protons and you have negative charge, as opposed to pumping lots of electricity through it. That's harder. So something that is negatively charged naturally, such as anti protons, is better.

No, it's unreachable because then you would have no thermal energy at all, and to do that you need a way to absorb the energy with something that has even less energy. Basically you can only make something as cold as something you're cooling it with, unless you get into laser cooling. And even then it's impossible to remove every nanojoule of energy.

Also, if something was in a vacuum and completely cut off from any light or anything else, theoretically there would be no way for light to hit the item and make it cold. Hence the necessity for a black hole. Then you use gravity waves to fool reality into making a black hole with all the properties of absolute 0 except that it has mass.
Actually, yes, you are right about temperature. hence why we are ALSO using electronegativity to further compress it. After temperature has done all it can do, electronegativity does the rest. But you do risk a black hole if you don't manage a cold thing properly. They made a virtual black hole with a Bose–Einstein condensate

As to antimatter, the risks are slowly being controlled. takes time, but again, such a craft would be VERY big, probably needing massive magnets.

Also, the acoustic "black hole" has nothing to do with the gravitational effects of singularities. Note that I put black hole in quotation marks. That's a hint!

What is your deal? Why are you knocking someones ideas here? If you do not like the ideas then do not respond at all? Do you care to add your input into the discussion, OTHER than your sarcastic cutdowns?

That is for the small. For the large, the wave of probability is pretty much obvious. You would need an external force, or a God, to alter the wave probability of all the matter of the universe to make it look like a vacuum and not through a filled field.
How is it possible that information can reach the craft to tell it to go 3x10^8 m/s if information cannot reach it to identify the craft's actual speed?

Yes, the acoustic black hole is what I was looking into more. There's no reason you need to necessarily create an actual black hole, when you could create a virtual one for matter and have the same results with less energy and money needs. The fact remains that some super fluids stop light. If you stop light, you CANNOT have information travel faster than that light to identify something exists.
