  • so, if they dont know about black holes, how did they discover it in the first place? im still lost on this issue..

  • @Mttgangster21 Black Holes are a theory, not a fact. As for the discovery that led to the theory, the bending of light is how they were discovered. Since, if something of such a mass does exist, we'll probably never be able to prove it completely. The scope is that an object of unmeasurable density having a gravitational pull so great, that not even light can escape it simply cannot be explored directly, you can only measure the effects of surrounding material.

  • @Mttgangster21 Light that would bend and warp in the direction around something with very heavy gravity was observed and from there, the theory conceived.

  • Great, not only do we have disease, tsunamis, meteors and the sun to worry about. Now we also have black holes that swallows the whole universe. We are truly a doomed race.

  • I'm certainly not one for spirituality, yet, I rest in the solace of knowing that we are made by the Universe and one day, we will return to it. Nothing is wasted and all is recycled. Enjoy what you have in the now, and worry less about the yesterday and the tomorrow. This is what keeps those that understand the finite existence of humanity, and our fragility, somewhat sane. We're not as much doomed as we are inevitable to become recycled in the Universe.

  • Worrying about yesterday is vital to the survival of our species. Being able to counter a winter or a catastrophe is what have kept not only mankind but also mammals of any species going for all this time. What we do today might give our children time to ultimately save our species from ultimate destruction.

    If it came to that I'd gladly sacrifice my sanity for the sake of our children. It would even be a... comfort of sorts.

  • LoL, did you even read what I stated? Worry less, not completely disregard. My point is to focus on the NOW, since in REALITY, it is the only time in which you can do anything. Yesterday cannot be changed and tomorrow may never come. Deal with today before you deal with anything else. And if you're buying into the recently changed from "Global Warming" scam to the newly converted "Climate Change" scam, conversation over, since you're still asleep. Finally, everything ends sooner or later.

  • It's so hard to understand the concept behind black holes bending space time

  • still dnt get it why and how we were made? all theories, zero facts!

  • @danthemanzizzle

    If you want to start thinking about politics and solving that bullshit; be my guest. I would rather prefer to be a part of the scientists that figure out the secrets of black holes.

  • @TerrestialSatelite we don't have to worry about black holes i don't think... nuclear war? yes.

  • @cronoslogic oh..i see. lol, kinda hard to comprehend such matter as black hole theories in my head. but its really interesting to know. thanks.

  • all this shit are lies chuck Norris created the universe lol...well who knows wats out there hopefully they make a better telescope to c further out
