I had someone try to explain this to me for the entire ride from SF to Sac and I couldnt get my head around it, but it just took this little 5 minute cartoon to have it all make sense to me. And now Im a bit scurred

wearing negatively charged pants, and a positively charged time static continuum.. your projectile ratio will exceed the black hole's consumption rate by 4.5 meters over every second squared.

 

theres a thing on black holes on earth on the history channel right now.....

 

you mean when we make tiny tiny little black holes?

did you know a black hole the size of the earth wouldn't having more pull than the earth itself? physics so any movie/cartoon you see is farfetched when it shows a space ship get pulled in from far away.

 

it should have more pull... shouldn't it? the amount of gravity is based off of the amount of density... a black hole the size of earth would have way more density because a black hole is collapsed star that was bigger then 1.4 (something mass.. i forgot the unit)....

with that being said... is it even possible to have a black hole that is the size of the earth? our star (the sun) is not big enough to be a black hole thus it will become a white dwarf the size of the earth itself... but being that it takes the mass of the sun and compressing it to the size of the earth, the gravity that it has will stay the same (assuming no mass is lost in the transformation)

any who, the thing on the history channel was about the possibility of a black holes on earth, thus explaining the Bermuda triangle and what not...

 

If you haven't seen it yet, you should watch "The Eegant Universe" - good stuff.

 

My dad is a physicist. It is fun to talk to him about this stuff.

You should watch a movie called "Waking Life"

 

i learned alot from those few videos....why cant college class is easy understand like the cartoon??

 

We saw that in my IST class this past semester. It confused me. I couldn't wrap my head around the computers that run without ever being turned on. I can't remember what they are called, I'll e-mail my professor and ask and get back to you.

 

What the bleep do we know? I love that stuff and own the movies.

 

This question always bugged me because I couldn't wrap my head around it.


If this is the universe:
(-----------) pretend that's a circle.




Then what's over here? ---> X


Now they're starting to think that there may be multiple universes. It kinda scares me (or is unnerving more so) that the universe is infinite. Like it REALLY never ends, and that buggs the crap out of me because everything we know of has a beginning and an end (except for time).

 

The new way of thinking should excite your mind, not scare you. But I think I know what you mean.

 

that movie is interesting... but common.... its a load of bull

 

what the bleep do we know was kind of weak

 

have you seen the second installment?
