The missing Room

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-XXXX cannot be moved, it is to be contained on site. The door leading to SCP-XXXX is made of steel and is locked by a remotely controlled deadbolt, as well as a standard mechanical lock. The exterior of the door is to match the appearance of other doors in the building. At least one level 3 personnel is to remain on call to respond to security breaches. Measurements are to be taken weekly, after the building is closed, using thermal imaging to ensure no change in the size or state of SCP-XXXX has taken place.

Description: SCP-XXXX is room ███ in the [REDACTED] building of the University of [REDACTED]. It is a small-sized classroom of approximately 6 m x 8 m x 3 m. When the door to SCP-XXXX is opened the entire room appears black. No light or matter escapes the room past the threshold of the door. X-ray and thermal imaging reveal that this is the same at any point where the inner walls of the room would be. When any matter passes the threshold, it cannot be removed. SCP-XXXX affects all matter down to the sub-atomic level. Any matter inserted into the room is pulled with a force equivalent to the weight of the matter under earth's gravity towards the center of the room. Contact is lost with any GPS device that enters SCP-XXXX. It is unclear if the matter that enters SCP-XXXX is transported to another point in space and time or simply ceases to exist.

author's note: why doesn't the room create a vacuum that would eventually suck up the earths atmosphere?

Addendum: SCP-XXXX was discovered on September ██, 20██ when a class of students could not gain entry to their classroom. The door was unlocked, so a maintenance staff member was called to remove the doorknob. Upon the removal of the doorknob the inner doorknob and latch assembly were pulled into the room. The maintenance man attempting to retrieve the doorknob stepped into the room, appeared to trip and vanished past the threshold of SCP-XXXX. The students observing this began to panic and eventually the local police were notified. SCP-XXXX was brought to the Foundation’s attention at this time and a containment team sent to its location. The building was evacuated and all students and staff who witnessed SCP-XXXX were given class-A amnesiacs after being interviewed.
