Equally bizarre and fascinating.

This is interesting, but it seems to have holes. Something half of the mass of the moon would not contain anywhere near enough energy or gravity to form a black hole.

Maybe I am missing something?

Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed it.

Yeah, that might have been a sketchy example. If the process is correct though this would mean that if a black hole formed from a star of 3-5 solar masses it would be a prime candidate for Hawking radiation to induce this effect. As with all mathematical models they're provisional, albeit interesting, until tested.
