It doesn't really work like that. If the light is bent exaxtly 180, why not 360?
That is, we are expecting the light to be bent 180 by the black hole, but then to "straighten out" and come back to us.
It's been a while since I studied these things, but I imagine it would take two black holes to do this.
Isn't this more of a marketing thing? There are more male gamers than female because the adds are aimed squarely at the "White Male (18-35)" demographic.
Although maybe game companies could tweek existing games to cater for the "fairer" sex:

First off, the product is not just the software. The product is the software *and* the regulations.
Secondly, The Box clearly states that there are conditions defined inside. It may not state what the conditions are on the outside, but it does let you know that you are making a gamble by buying it. If you don't want to make that bet, dint buy the product.
It might not be what we want from a product, but life is tough.
what if Microsoft stated in their EULA that, if I want to run Windows, I have to go find a Linux-using hippy, break into his house, reformat his hard drive, and install Windows on his computer?
They don't. Nobody does.
It's not until after you've paid your money that you get asked if you want to accept the EULA. And find a software store that will accept a return of an opened box.
The box states that there are conditions defined inside. If you don't want to take the chance, don't buy the box. It you do want to take that chance and you later find don't like those conditions, well, thems are the breaks. You were given fair warning.
As far as I can see, you are complaining because you do not want to take responsibility for your actions. You want to buy a companies product, but under your own terms.
You must realise that the "product" is both the software *and* the vendor's terms.
Disclaimer:
I'm not trolling. I'm just proposing an alternative view.
Why shouldn't companies slap whatever restrictions they want on their products? Microsoft's EULA could state that by opening the wrapper I agree to eat the contents. If I don't agree to that, I don't buy the product.
As consumers, we have no right to demand certain products. We do have the right not to buy a product we don't like. We also have the right to buy lots of products we do like.
This gives us a lot of clout in the market place.
If the product we want does not exist, then there is a niche in the market. Businesses may want to take advantage of this, as the excellent open source community has done.
Scientific theories can not be "proven", only disproved.
The fact is, the theory of evolution explains perfectly well how something like this beetle could have evolved. There are numerous other beetles, which have the same chemicals, although, use them differently. There are also numerous examples of dangerous "design" in the animal kingdom (Our Windpipe right beside our food-pipe for crying out loud)
There is, as yet, no known species which could not have come into existence through a mechanism like evolution. Therefore, evolution, at present, is an excellent theory.
"This goes some way to explaining examples that are considered to defy standard evolutionary theory, such as the Bombardier Beetle."
OK, I'll bite. Time to feed the Trolls...
The bombardier beetle never defied standard evolutionary theory. It may have defied belief, but that's a different matter entirely. If anything, the bombardier beetle, and countless other amazing species, show the awesome power of something as simple as random mutation and selection.

Can light bend 180?

The size of the black hole isn't the volume taken up by its mass. It's the volume inclosed by the event horizion.
If light enters that volume, it never(ish) gets out.
True, nobody *needs* this, but it does do what is does well.
The only website I'd like to view on my phone is the yellow pages.
Could this be the first PC which actually *does* have a cup holder?
Which film would make more sense if you saw a penis in it?
"The crying game" and that is why they could show "it".
You still don't need any excuse to show unfettered T-shirt potatoes.

What section is this, ChrisD's lurve tips?
Opps... Forgot to add the moderator friendly [HUMOUR] tags, but thanks for making my point... :)
There's no other intelligent life on this thread.
There's a more straight forward way to mix your sences than LSD.
Close your eyes and (gently) press your fingers to your eyelids. Those funky, psycadelic colours you see are not caused by light, but be pressure.

Darn those gansta boyz. Is nothing too taboo for their cutting edge lyrics?
And shook me like a dog.
I have no idea what you are talking about. As a responsible member of society, I stopped reading your original post at the warning. ;)

...there's some sticker saying you have to take it back to the store for a refund if you don't agree. That's too much of a pain.
You want to bring in new regulations because going back to the store is "too much of a pain"?
We have rights, which means we also have responsibilities.

I readily use complete sentences.
I guess you're new here. Welcome to slashdot, or as we like to say "Welcom too SlasDhot".
or in other words...
I imagine the first first-post was something witty and insightful like:
Testing, please ignore.
First posts haven't improved much since then.
Any record of the first site to be slashdotted?
when we went live, we didn't even have comments for the first week or so!)
A whole week before a "First Post" appeared. Bliss.

My God, you are right! If only Microsoft consulted you before they made the purchace they could have saved hundreds of millions!
