- thcobbs, on 04/10/2008, -0/+12Up until the violent rending of space-time. I can hear it now: "WRONG HOLE!"
- TomBolland, on 04/10/2008, -0/+11Most of my threesomes end in violence..
- Parks, on 04/10/2008, -0/+11Yeah and then the black holes create new universes in another dimension. No one can prove me wrong. I need more money to do more research on these black hole thingies.
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -1/+7Black holes are holes in space and time in about the same manner as a hole in your videotape is a fundamental hole in the continuity of your video recording. So much matter has been compressed into a basically shapeless, formless and volume-less area they crash space itself as windows vista crashes your ZX spectrum. Our matter has no way out of this crashed state in the lifetime of our universe. Stuff and information lost in a black hole may be lost, period, gone, dissoluted, destroyed, outside spacetime.
But it gets worse. Black Holes also do something like drag the surrounding blob of spacetime, as surely as they drag everything in, into a disfigured hole. Hole metaphorical, because it is'nt a hole as we humans know it. It's better to say that whereas in normal space you can travel in all directions, the nearer you get to a Black Hole all roads travel towards the black hole. You cant unfly from a black hole. This is especially acute with rotating black holes - you can not go against the spin of a black hole. It is as if when you move against the rotational vector of a spinning black hole (and most of them spin) the black hole steals your movement and drags you in twice as fast. Why? Because space itself gets dragged around and you have to sacrifice a lot more energy just to stay in one place.
But it gets worse. If you care, look up (wiki) jets, accretion disks, magnetars, neutron stars, gamma ray bursts, supernovae, hypernovae, quasars, exotic matter, quark stars, virtual particles, wheelchair guy radiation, event horizon. This is a massive field of study that will yield results in ways we can't even envision yet. Black holes are the ultimate uncaring darkness the universe shows us. - liftedmedia, on 04/10/2008, -0/+5Dugg for causing "Sudden Violence"
- jameshighmore, on 04/10/2008, -2/+7Do you think some day there'll be "White Dwarves in Black Holes" porn?
- TheHayze, on 04/10/2008, -1/+6This may seem trivial to most of you.. but I liked how two of the black holes kinda made a heart with their orbit trails. D:
Really sweet though. - mashw, on 04/10/2008, -1/+5They swirl around a bit and then BOOSH! They go all together like.
- dbs1221, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3We know black holes exist, how they behave, are formed, and the effect the have on energy and matter is up to some debate.
- punkcat, on 04/10/2008, -1/+43? i only saw two merge.
dugg for "full-on general relativity" anyhow. - Murdats, on 04/10/2008, -2/+5your right, why bother learning why the sun rises and falls.
why bother learning how matter interacts.
why bother learning the effects that can be had on space and time and gravity. - taketheleap, on 04/10/2008, -3/+5threesome, sudden violence, general relativity... hell, throw in Obama and this post is a Digger's dream!
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -1/+3Feeding you may also be a waste.
- glinsvad, on 04/10/2008, -2/+4Rule #34
- i4mt3hwin, on 04/10/2008, -5/+7I guess they blend?
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -2/+3Anytime you get 3 black holes merging, there's gotta be a crack pipe laying around somewhere.
- fireburner23, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1When two black holes merge does it merge the universe? Imagine having two Fireburners and Parks. OH NOES!
- abuelos84, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2Right, he never mentioned how many people should be involved...
- craighoxton, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2Reminds me of that Futurama episode when Fry wrote LEELA I LOVE YOU in stars
- PeterBassett, on 04/10/2008, -3/+4Of course there is. You just probably don't want to know what you have to do to achieve that goal. You're not thinking hard enough.
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -3/+4Why bother learning the difference between "your" and "you're"?
- JBmtk, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1aside from the educated posters above, can anyone summarize?
- fhernand, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2what about 10.000 black holes??
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2Nope they aren't theory anymore, they have become very certain conjecture. Evidence has been more or less supplied by matter rotating suspected black holes; the matter moved so fast the thing inside can only be a black hole. Likewise if matter falls into a heavy object, like a neutron star, you see distinctive flares of light (very very very very bright) suggesting where and when the falling matter hits the *surface*. However when the same happens and matter falls in a suspected black hole astrophysical observations notice some light of impact is missing, suggesting that before hitting the surface the matter just gets winked out by the darkness of the hole. It winks out and dies real sudden.
That is a very strong clue. - whatever01, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1they were all eaten by rats!!
- SaveTheHumans, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2...Not to mention learning the proper use of punctuation and capitalization.
I mean, what useful purpose does education serve, anyway? - inactive, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1We already have, learn to use google.
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2Effexor is the new Prozac buddy.
- noumuon, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2ten black holes?
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Don't hang around too closely. Gravity waves cause damage to your atoms.
- Slowface, on 04/10/2008, -1/+2I love, first of all your explanation, secondly, your closing sentence.
- InThePants, on 04/10/2008, -1/+1What about .... a trillion black holes?
- letherial, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0I love it, super computers with only half the input are sent on a 'what would happen if all of our calculations are correct wich they probaly are not' simulation, realy, what a waste of time.
- jpesicka2, on 04/10/2008, -1/+1will it blend? that is the question
- Zoltair, on 04/10/2008, -2/+1There are many reason to learn something, especially when there are unknown outcomes, but come on!!! there is only one outcome in this, the evolutionary track of this experiment is a dead end and serves no purpose beyond, "Look what I did!" and "look how much it costs". I am not saying we shouldn't learn, but there are some things that are just beyond any necessity, the next big thing is "look what happens when 4 black holes collide... duh , same result......
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -2/+1Lets throw him in a blender and show him how.
- mecharabbit, on 04/10/2008, -3/+2It's inevitable that one black hole will feel like it isn't receiving enough attention and get jealous.
- thepollution, on 04/10/2008, -2/+0Woot. WTG Brick City
- Vermyndax, on 04/10/2008, -2/+0Most ménage à trois end in sudden violence.
- oda1, on 04/10/2008, -5/+0black holes can get 'intimate'?? ...
black hole threesome? - smasherdevourer, on 04/10/2008, -6/+0I could be completely wrong, but I was under the impression black holes were theory. Shouldn't they spend time trying to find one rather than figuring out what they do when they merge? Couldn't this all be a moot point?
- GamerX, on 04/10/2008, -9/+1Big disappointment :( There's still no way to practice anal, vaginal and oral sex at the same time.
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -12/+1What data are they using to replicate the black holes. Has anyone collected data on a black hole. What a waste.
- Zoltair, on 04/10/2008, -14/+2And we need to know this why? Isn't it enough to know we get f&*ked in the end.....
