Fast-Moving Black Hole

Posted by michael on from the vacuum-cleaner dept.

    Yep, if we ever got close enough to a black hole, it would be the solution to global warming, corruption in government, freedom on the Internet, minority rights, energy production, and pretty much every other petty human problem you can think of.
