How To Destroy a Black Hole
KentuckyFC writes "The critical concept that makes a black hole black is the event horizon: a theoretical boundary in space through which light and other objects can pass in one direction but not the other. Since light cannot escape the event horizon, it must be black. The event horizon is a nuisance to astrophysicists because it hides the interesting new physics that must go on inside a black hole. What they would like is a way to get rid of the event horizon so that they can see what goes on behind it. It turns out that just such a thing may be possible, say physicists. According to the mathematics of general relativity, the event horizon should disappear if a black hole were fed enough charge and angular momentum relative to its mass. However the calculations are so fiendish (PDF) that nobody knows whether the black hole would shed this extra angular momentum and charge before it could settle into a stable 'naked' state. However, the possibility that the event horizon could be destroyed raises the question of what astrophysicists would see behind this veil. According to some, black holes are regions of spacetime with infinite curvature called singularities. Many believe that 'naked' singularities cannot exist in nature. And yet there are enough question marks to suggest that this mystery is far from settled."
as much as the next guy, but when astrophysicists start taking this shit seriously, we have a problem
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Send all Niggers to the black hole, that'll take care of it.
G0 AHEAD FUCKING FLAME AWAY 0R
WASTE YOUR G0DDAMNED M0D P0INTS
FUCKTARDED SHITD0T SHEEPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha ice burn on george bush, bet he never saw that one coming!
Oh and a good one on Darl McBride.
Way to show up a half decade late, you dumbshit.
the submitters understanding of Black Holes is only about 25 years behind.
