cosmology is such a meme

A nuclear bomb is just as terrifying, though I know that the chances of me being inside detonation range is near slim to none. I don't live near any urban areas, and I know that the people operating them aren't complete morons, so I don't really mind about their existence.

A black hole is not chaotic, it may seem chaotic because it had the potential to destroy what we normally consider to be something stable and static, such as a star or a planet. But the black hole itself is extremely simple and therefore in my opinion less chaotic. A black hole only has three properties: mass, spin, and charge. Seems unchaotic to me. (did I get the three properties right?)

This. The rest of the universe is chaotic. Black holes are like the orderliness of God

Meh. I don't think I'd even see what hit me if one was dropped in my city. And if I did, I guess I'd just sit back and enjoy the last fireworks in my life. What else to do, run in circles and flail my arms?

There's a tesseract in the middle that connects us to a dimension of Love.

Don't forget that.

has anyone actually seen one of these fucking things?

Computer simulations that confirm assumptions based on observational data are nice and all, but is there any chance that black holes are a result of our math and that galactic centers emit high energy radiation for some other reason?

We know there are ungodly massive objects out there. We know they are very dim. We know there are uncountably many of them. And we know they all act the same way, and are probably of the same type. So there's one type of object that you can find everywhere in the universe, they're super heavy, super compact and super dim. The best fit so far is a black hole.

Death and chaos have almost nothing to do with each other.

Death is conceptually aligned with order; chaos is unpredictable, virtually random.

You can't see black holes. That's kind of the point.

We see things by light reflecting off of them and into our eyes/camera. Once light goes into a black hole it doesn't come out, thus you cannot see it.

Like many things in space, we know they exist because we can see their gravitational pull on other objects.

>>8225269
Not really. Apart from the radiation they spit out they arent that scary

>>8225513
Its always possible thats its something else, but black holes best fit the evidence

its intelligent civilizations hiding from our stupidity

loled.

Thanks for the lulz.

They arent proven yet.

IIRC there's a pair of orbital telescopes going up sometime in the 2020s with the goal to directly observe a (specific, I think) black hole.

LIGO pretty much proved them.

Any thing to read, fiction is non, that goes into what you're referring to with black holes? Seems interesting
