he explans things in the best way posible

i wish i could swap him with my tutor

[aLLikat89]

i love how smiles all of the time

[yumnaization]

so wat he means that everything and everyone is moving towards the blackholes...and that is what einstien's thEory explains

@mrlogicalman1 derp....

[mrlogicalman1]

@vbk929 they must be dumb if you think they are dumb . they must be double as dumb as you

[ichimonji1988]

I wonder if he got the "spaghetti-fied" thing from Neil Degrasse Tyson. You have to love hip physics-language :)

@thecureye I have to admit ive learnt more from this guy in just seeing him on TV than i learnt in the whole of school.. my school tutors were dumb. ooh well n/m

Our understanding of the universe stops much sooner than depicted. We cant even understand weather let alone the center of a black hole.

Do NOT take that as my saying we have a gap we need a "gap man" to populate it. It just means we need to keep searching. Gives everyone more to look for. Kind of like playing your MMO but rather one that no human has their grubby hands on to control but rather nature does who is neither your friend nor foe, just is. Math fails at a singularity, humanity won't.

@thecureye I can't imagine him as my tutor...I think I'd be too distracted...

@cun7us Again, when physics talk about the inside of a black hole they are dumbing it down. There is no inside. If there was an inside, the laws of the universe are wrong. If there is an inside, then nothing can escape by the very nature of gravity(Again dumbing this down) Now if we drop entropy 'inside' a black hole that entropy disappears from the observable universe. This is simply not possible, this is why there can't be an inside. If you really want to learn this study entropy/topology. =]

@ZerroShadows That link you sent me was interesting, however the theory the Professor makes in this follow video sounds more plausible to me - /watch?v=GYKyt3C0oT4 He claims that inside the black hole, spacetime slows down, matter is super compressed and the trapped light is trying to escape, which would explain the massive amount of energy it emits.
