What most people know about black holes, they’ve learned from sci-fi. In this genre, black holes (spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape) can often do some nifty things, like time travel. In real life, however, black holes are a whole lot more interesting. A compact mass of deformed spacetime with zero volume and infinite density? Sign us up to learn more.
In the Good the Bad the News
The Bad
The next solar storm could knock out the internet for months. Which will be a problem for most of us.
Fuck Texas, the new abortion ban is not about protecting fetuses. Abortion bans are a way to control women, specifically lower income women. Because, rich so-called “pro-life” individuals will always have access to safe abortions.
The Good
A Beekeeper in France has invented a trap that can stop Murder Hornets. Want to learn more about Murder Hornets? Listen to our 2020 episode on them https://www.buzzsprout.com/603916/3727583
Amber’s good news is that when our sun turns into a supernova in 5.5 billion years, it will not turn into a blackhole, cause it’s too small. Yay?
Although Black Holes have an enormous effect on any object crossing it’s path, it has no locally detectable features. In theory, you could be standing right next to one and not realize it. If you did observe it, you’d notice that clocks near it would seem to move slower, because time is literally going slower in a Black Hole. This might be a good way to travel forward in time, however, once you enter it, you can never leave it. No one will hear you scream either, because information cannot escape a black hole….
Listen now to learn about Black Holes, more interesting than a science fiction movie.
