I thought it looked like a donut!! Mmmm, yum!!

Space is a pretty big place. Like, a LOT bigger than the pacific ocean.

When you get down to it, statistically speaking, we don't exist.

The black hole or more commonly referred to in the UK as Brexit.

I was thinking of something else, but I better not elaborate!

I want the bloody EU to disappear into it...Hello Mr Black Hole I got £20 for you to do a little job for me.

On a more serious note not bad but we need a much better picture.

Everything that is pulled into the singularity has to go somewhere doesnt it . Does the singularity get bigger or does the matter that makes up the singularity have mass and no mass at the same time ? or does the matter become just space (the blackness) . Does the event horizon get bigger over time ? These are questions i need to know .

The mass does not seize to exist, it accumulates inst5ead. So the gravity pull of the black hole grows stronger, I think. The picture they made, is not a photo of the hole itself, becasue sinc enothign escapes form a blakc hole, you cannbot catch up any emitting patrtciles, waves, whatever from it. Its like with "seeing" an insivisble man. We do not see the invisible man, but we can see the shadow he casts on the wall.



They said that the data on their harddrives had severla petabytes. Loads and loads of harddrives, several hundred kilograms in total weight. From this data, the images were constructed. Done four times, by four different teams. All teams' final results were not too different form each other, but different they were, which shows that these images are not "objective" visual photographies of somethign, but are artificial creations, thus I called them "illustrations". It is a data-based illustration of a black hole's "shadow" that its invisible presence casts on the matter and space around it.

Sky speaks the truth even the colors are computer generated based on the temperture and then the yellows and the reds are added in. I saw a series of screens from the other contributing data gathering space experts and they were not all perfect like the one in the OP ... More questions than answers, but that is a good thing for todays youth to help then get involved in space science.

Can you imagine the amount of math it took to get a space craft with the ability to take these images of a black hole to the point in time that it is in right now?

None?

The term entropy and the term negentropy, should be regarded as attempts to supply terms which we would then seek to explain, for the difference between living and dying or dead processes. https://archive.schillerinstitute.co...egentropy.html[/U]
