I don’t know why everyone seems to think black holes are holes and not spherical objects no different than a planet with its accretion disk. Only way more powerful and complex. I feel like black holes are objects. I feel like they are hollow objects that are so black they can’t reflect light when observing from the outside, but can see everything outside of it from the inside. No different than tinted windows on a car. I feel like the accretion disk is harnessing the energy of the universe in the space it’s in. And it’s doing so as means to generate the galaxy it’s the center of. And so when astrophysicists show the galaxy as this spiral from its center. I feel like this spiral is spiraling both directions simultaneously. And the more I think about this the more terrifying it becomes because it points to the likelihood of it not being something naturally spawning of the universe, but instead something made it and put it there. Something intelligent. It’s almost as if blackholes are the gatekeepers if you will. Gatekeepers of what? Who knows. But the more I think about it the more obvious this becomes. If a black hole is how I describe it might be, it gives it the utility of being able to watch what’s happening in its galaxy, its past, present, and even possible future, at any moment, from the inside, at any time, as if it was happening right in front of whoever or whatever was observing it. Think of it like a crystal ball. But instead of gazing into it from the outside, you’re on the inside in the center gazing all around out. And maybe it’s generating the galaxy. Maybe that’s how timelines are generated. From the object that is Intelligent in design harnessing all the power of space to make time. And we experience time. Maybe the black hole is evidence of an object/ device manufactured with the potential of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, maybe a black hole is a highly complex artificially intelligent quantum computing simulator machine that simulates reality as the milky way galaxy as we know it. Maybe. Who knows.

Carrington Event - Could realistically happen and would be absolutely devastating

Dormant black holes. You'll never see it coming.

Only if they have giant frickin’ space laser beams on their foreheads

I think only an outside observer could potentially see you at rest on an event horizon assuming you could survive there.

From your perspective I imagine once past the EH you'd be consumed by the singularity at FTL speed

No black holes? Just imagine the insane size of a TON 618.

What is the universe expanding in to? What's on the outside of it? What's on the outside of that? It makes me feel uneasy and annoyed that I will never know.

What do you mean exactly by "work at NASA"? Because the range of jobs there is most likely pretty large. What exactly you want to do actually do there? Focusing on a particular place is a bit weird, you should focus on a job instead. Otherwise what happens if you realise you actually don't like the place?

If you want to do some engineering or astro-science then it might be hard without math and physics. But there are lots of other jobs - you could be a janitor there, or drive the crawler which moves rockets into the launch pad, or be a technician or a lawyer or a firefighter...

Molecular clouds. That’s not a void in space, you’re seeing. It’s one of the coldest and darkest places in the universe.

Also, bow shock. It’s literally a star’s forceful making a wake through interstellar dust.

Black holes, of course.

Gamma ray bursts. This article is about one that was pointed straight at us last year, but we were far enough away for it to just tickle our atmosphere. The second picture is essentially looking down the barrel of the biggest gun in the universe.

My thoughts exactly. Even thinking about the number 1 billion in terms of seconds.....1 million seconds is 11 and a half days...1 billion seconds is over 31 years....billions of galaxies......mind blown.

>sophomore year of high school

just how do you feel about math and how are your grades in it? Plenty of engineering or physics students are ambivalent at best about math until Calculus, which is where it starts to get fun. And if your skills aren’t outstanding but still solidly hovering around a B, then you probably have nothing to worry about.

I say this not to discount what others have said about working in a non-math area, just to provide my own take on your supposed inability to study engineering or physics.

Same. I cant even comprehend the vastness of our own oceans, so how can I possible comprehend that their are billions of entiry star systems with their own strange planets only in our galaxy and THEN there are billions of other galaxies with billions of star systems with planets so strange we cant even understand and THEN there could be also other universes with other physics. Like wtf

Yes! Couldn't remember what the heck it was called, was trying to search online to find what it was haha, then was like wait its probably already commented somewhere here. I also don't fully grasp the idea, which definitely adds to the scariness haha. Not something I worry about, but definitely one of those things that makes you shiver a bit when reading about it.

As for actual objects we know about, I'd say pulsars as they're just giant death rays lol.

thats definitly the worst of all.
