Singularity


















My good Friend Alex used a great analogy the other day he said



"Jobby Face, is an emotional Black hole, compressing all your feelings into a singularity"





the name has been changed but not so much that the induvidual wont know who they are!! Mwhahahhaahaha!





ahem anyway
















indeed



Strange Facts About Black Holes:



1.Light bends so much near black holes that if you were near one and looking away from the hole, you would see multiple images of every star in the universe, and could actually see the back of your own head!



(ie. you're view on the situation may become skewed and any rationalisation will be futile, so don't try it)



2.Inside a black hole the roles of time and radius reverse: just as now you can't avoid going into the future, inside a black hole you can't avoid going in to the central singularity.



(or time near this subject might start to alter and hours can fly by and you will think it was only a few minutes)



3.If you stood a safe distance from a black hole and saw a friend fall in, he would appear to slow down and almost stop just outside the event horizon. His image would dim very rapidly. Unfortunately for him, from his point of view he would cross the event horizon just fine, and would meet his doom at the singularity.



(Any other people near this, might look fine but are actually annoyed by it, due to alpha heavenly body status)



4.Black holes are the simplest objects in the universe



(heh heh need I say more?).



5.You can describe one completely by just its mass, spin rate, and electric charge.



(or weight, height and how static their jumpers get)



6.In contrast, to completely describe a dust mote you're have to specify the position and state of all of its atoms, taking at least $10^{16}$ numbers! As Hawking discovered, black holes can evaporate, but only very slowly. Even one the mass of a mountain will last for ten billion years, and one the mass of the Sun will only evaporate after $10^{67}$ years.



(i.e. more simple than a dust mote and anything you do get out of it will be at an inappropriate time)


I thank you

We definitely need to write 'A guide to dating and the universe.'...
