That’s a screen grab from lord of the rings ffs. Trying to justify their funding

Radio ulster had a feature on this this morning. The presenter asked the expert/professor if a black hole was like the Bermuda triangle.

And? Don’t keep us in suspense

Apparently not…another let down

Shep looked a bit uncomfortable there when asked where the image of the Milky Way black hole was. Still working on it apparently.

It’s a super-supermassive black hole, due to it’s size it posed for the camera. Our wan is only a supermassive black hole so is a bit more jittery.

I just read the Wikipedia page on Black Holes and am none the wiser. I’d say lads with brains must get very little sleep at nights.

Q. Why does time stand still in a black hole?
A. No gaa, no music and they tie up the swings on a Sunday

So ppl who had theories of travelling through a black hole to get to different parts of the universe will be disappointed. Gas fire and radiation surrounding it. Oh well. Looks like its just us after all.

Well space (and time) is distorted around there so you never know!

Time is an illusion

Is it a circular illusion or a linear illusion?

All I know and I’m no means a scientist, gas fire and radiation = bad news. Does that black hole have worms.

We are at all points on the timeline at all times simultaneously

Time is different depending on where in space and influenced by gravity

They reckon that black hole contains the remnants of 6 billion suns.

And lads say there is no God.
