Indeed. A black hole is just a collapsed star, compressed to the point that it's gravitational pull is astronomically more powerful that the gravitational pull of a regular star (Keep in mind that a regular star's gravitational pull is strong enough to hold planits in orbit of it for billions if not trillions of years.... AND strong enough to pull comets from the middle of nowhere into it's orbit) which is no small amoung of force.

Why do so many people let others fill their head with drivel. How can anyone even be sure of the existence of black holes? Did they see one from a telescope? Oh, please. I once saw an equasion that illegedly explained how powerful a Black Hole's gravitational pull was. I sure would like to know how they came up with this wonderful theory, since they've never even seen a damned black hole.

Whenever anyone asks me where I think people go if they enter a black hole, I always say, "Well, I guess that all depends on what kind of life they led beforehand!!"

if the universe is about 180 billion light-years wide.
then what's at the ends of that width? a wall? a jelly skin? nothingness? a force that lets nothing go further? uhmm....

Just curious what people think of this exhibit. I just saw it over the weekend. Interesting but a little unsettling. And, where did this guy get the bodies? I heard later they were executed prisoners from China. Any truth to this?

If the age of the univese is 13 billion years or so, and nothing can travel faster than light, how can the universe be 150 billion light years across?

Hello I have a question about studying engineering. Im about to go into my senior year in high school. Right now the engineering field entrigues me, as i enjoy problem solving and design and structure, etc. and it leaves so many open possibilities. I am particularly interesting in going to law school after undergrad to become a patent attorney. This is where my GPA worries come in.

I have heard that engineering is very difficult and i am willing to accept that. I have also seen that law schools dont care at all if you majored in sociology or engineering. If LSATs are same, a 3.3 in eng will be rejected while a 3.5 in socio will be accepted. That general idea is what i have been hearing. How do you do well in engineering to avoid this probnlem? Im very worried about it, as ive heard constantly how hard engineering is.

Also, how do you pick? Mech seems very cool, but Electrical seems to be what everyone wants. Ive also heard environ. engineering consultants can do very well. How to pik

What bugs me(no pun intended) is that they're not flying around. Last week it was just one. Over the course of the week it's up to 4 wasps. (Small three floor complex). It's odd cuz I've never seen this before. I don't like them but I am intrigued and get closer just to figure out why. Could it be the hot weather that's bringing them in or what?

Who was the person who invented (or discovered, whichever you want to call it) base numbers and worked with them? Euclid comes to mind, but I don't think that's right. Thanks.
