Thanks for posting.

of a glazed donut or a bagel. Seriously, an amazing photo.

From the article:

Nor do scientists know what ultimately happens to whatever falls into a black hole, nor what forces reign at the center, where according to the math we know now the density approaches infinity and smoke pours from God’s computer.

and took a photo.

Home of the burnt orange donuts:

You send them the black hole image with this image and BAM --- 50 billion added to the funds. Trump will try to eat it off the page.

The author uses terms and analogies that we can all understand. It's quite interesting and educational.
Thanks!

If you check out the rest of his blog, you'll see a ton of articles that are geared towards the layperson but without dumbing down the science.

*Also a quick plug for our alma mater, Bard College at Simon's Rock (simons-rock.edu). A strong liberal arts education makes it possible to bridge the gap between the technical and the understandable.

I stayed in there for ten minutes trying to figure it out. They did a great job kind of explaining how they did it and how they have to look at these things in different wavelengths like gamma or infrared. I didn't really understand how they got the picture yet but I know they are working on better quality and more telescopes. I also guess each black hole has it's own challenges because they change. It so complicated. Yo government give them $$$$ for this.

Gives me the willies. The literal abyss.

That does describe it well.

...center of a black hole?

has theorized that a black hole may lead to another universe. My question is, does it lead to another universe that was already in existence or when a black hole is created does it create another universe?

Yeah, I stole that.

Whoa Nelly that's a long ways out there.

The vastness of the universe is so humbling.

Stays the same even if we manage to leave this planet and even our solar system over the next hundreds of years.
