pjk is correct here - in GR it's not just that the hole is really deep and it would take an impractically colossal amount of energy to escape. It was just a simple way of illustrating it. Other suggestions, like the "singularity (yes, shouldn't have used that word) pinching itself off from the rest...

@Red Assassin What do the bracketed number in the diagrams represent? And E? Ellipticity? If so, of what? I studied some Special Relativity some years ago - the maths is surprisingly straightforward but the conclusions are equally surprisingly counter-intuitive :) Not directed at me, but I like rid...

...Hum, interesting, I thought you didn't like anime? Because that scenario you just describe is about as anime as it gets :P Yeah, but the reasons they got in that position in the first place are just stupid... Wait a sec! Are you saying that Trump and Barr and all the rest of this is an Anime mov...

...stuff.. My two preparatory coppers: The best broad illustration of gravity is that of the classic "rubber sheet" where something that has mass "deforms" the stretched out rubber sheet. It causes it to "warp" around the mass, right? Forget the bit of stuff rolling to the center of a sheet because...

<--- Is "A Stoopid 'Murican ™." What's "British News" stuff? Is there a "British C-SPAN" version out there? Believe it or not, the US "C-SPAN" does occasionally show televised coverage of Parliament. I know, right? It's probably because they yell at each other a lot and all us 'Muricans are waiting ...

It's especially unfun when the female dance instructor is your partner and she's hot and your wife is looking at you with that "you had better not enjoy dancing so close to her" look on her face. :) That's most of the point of Tango - hate, lust, passion, contempt, desire, all ****** up whichever w...

...<important stuff, to be sure, but...>... Let me just try to sum this up, OK? What I am concerned about is the gradual migration of game format and distribution from the way it is now, which I'm barely comfortable with at best, to a format and distribution method this designed more to benefit con...

Then I guess I should use an expression that is more native to an English speaker: it takes two to tango. That's better? ;) I don't like the Tango. It's... dumb. I actually had to do that once! No foolin'. A friend of mine and his wife made myself and my wife take "Ballroom Dance" lessons with them...

:rofl: Do you really think had Barr acted the way you described, he would be able to win heart and applaud? I didn't write or imply any such thing. You can read English, I know. So, why do you keep having a problem reading what I wrote? Do you really think the people sitting at the panel was seekin...

Uhm no ? That's just your own conjecture, and I have to say, quite a ridiculous one at that. A very simple counter to this is, once again, the state of the MMO market. 10 years ago the market were flooded with that supply, and I wasn't lieing when I said people thought SP's day was number, I was on...

... it's hard not to see a lot of the screaming these days are people decide to light up their OWN arse just to have a reason to run around screaming. Some truth in your statement, however we have to use our brains when deciphering what someone is claiming. We can, for instance, decipher a bit out ...

Space-X reports Crew Dragon capsule destroyed in fire during a test

Sad news, but better without a crew than with one.

..."It's wrong because Trump doing it... These days, that's not far from a perfect proof... :) I'm not wrong doing the same thing because I'm not Trump." :rant: That might qualify as a perfect proof, too... I dunno anymore. :D ..So tell me, unless I'm a Muppet, how can I even take this seriously? :...

...I thought they were at least supposed to pretend that America was above such an imperialistic attitude. Sorry, you've come to the wrong store for "Nations that wish to demonstrate they are above an imperialistic attitude." :) Admittedly, however, the attitude has switched a bit since the devolut...

BBC News - Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew dies aged 74

No it wasn't mouth cancer.

Oh... darn. :/

Everything I had ever read about his interactions with fans was good.

...I'm not sure I understand your point here? Is it that "where would the resources come from?" If so the answer is, ample resources already exist they are just not applied correctly to the welfare of the general populace which is what should be rectified. This could be done without tearing up the ...

...Since you're pretty good at this, seeing how often you ask this question in other topic, let's me ask you the same question: define the problem here. And where we can draw a line. The Problem: A "gamer economy" that isn't structured around consumer demand, but instead constructed by what supplie...

Barr is toast (or at least should be). He's lying his arse off right now in from of the Senate. He should be impeached. I've got it on TV atm, but haven't been able to pay much attention. Hoping to catch up. One thing I haven't heard is a bunch of yelling... That didn't sway my attention, so I wond...
