Web Mister--It would not be just the earth but the entire universe. The basis behind it is that if you double the mass of a black hole you double the radius. So the available space inside is increased 8X. Kip Thorne suggests that the entire universe may be a black hole. In smaller black holes matter is getting one Hell of a squeeze however if one were to pack our entire galaxy into a black hole the size would be about 50x the diameter of Plutos orbit and the density inside would be about that of a gas. The amount of matter in the universe is still under debate but it is close enough that the entire universe could be a black hole. So we could be in effect when looking at smaller black holes we are seeing black holes within a black hole. [Though seeing them is a misnomer.] The amount of matter in the Big Bang should form a black hole. So the theory is that explosions are possible within a black hole. At the formation of the universe the Schwarzschild radius (the outside edge of the black hole as it were) leaps out to its limit almost instantly billions of light years. Matter kind of drags its way behind. All the Best Druss
