The "wormhole" sci fi depiction of black "holes" as literal holes in space/spacetime is cool, that's probably all there is to it.

Is it generally accepted that they're as you described, not holes but just really dense spheres with gravity so strong even light doesn't escape?

clarification: I am whatever is even less informed than a layman

But doing that with socks on is worse still.

A custodian isn't a high math skills job. The dust...isn't space dust and swelling a brush in a toilet isn't orbiting Uranus butt it is close.

I work HR for NASA… DM me and we’ll set a time to talk

Gamma ray bursts

Strange matter

Wandering black hole

Black holes, period

Quasars. The accretion disks that surround their central engine black holes emit radiation that can outshine the entire galaxy cluster in which they reside. In fact, these disks can produce more light than tens of trillions of our suns combined. The energy output of quasars can even surpass that of entire galaxies merging, and they are more powerful than the peak of a supernova, emitting a continuous stream of energy.

Airplane maintenance. You'll still need to know some math, but a couple years of experience performing structural QA, reading schematics, and getting familiar with sealants, bolts, materials, tubing and protocol could make you an attractive candidate.

Always stated as soon as you get to algebra, it should be mixed with physics. It makes it so much more interesting.

Gamma Ray Burst. Can’t even see the thing until it hits. Then BAM everything and everyone is beef jerky.

any energy with an active half life.

We are a half life ourselves.. our puny 100 yr scale.

it could all end in nanoseconds.. our silly electrons on wires, and batteries...existence.

..and we blame fire for pollution.

we are stupid and half lifed.

I don’t fear black holes, I believe the universe as we see it, is in one. There’s probably an entire universe in every black hole. I fear the Sun the most because our existence depends on it. If it starts acting up, the outrageous price of eggs won’t seem so important anymore.

That intelligence can develop when certain kinds of planets orbit certain kinds of stars at certain distances.

More likely to not hit but mess up orbits.

Humans. Self destruction of home planet for greed and power. Stupid.

How unknowable it still is- the combination of known unknowns and the unknown unknowns.

The stuff of matter and energy is only 5% of our universe. And we know only a tiny fraction of that and barely understand the small fraction of that tiny bit.

The rest is 25% dark matter and 70% dark energy.

We know what dark matter kinda is. We don’t know anything about dark energy.

And we’re just whirring around a giant blue marble in all of it.

The scariest concept in the universe is that I, a mere transitional spark of awareness, am actually a manifestation of the universe observing itself.

How does one get a job like that?

Just how badly do you want to work for nasa? If you want muscles you go to the gym. You want math skills you apply yourself with studies and exercise your brain. Of course this could just be a fantasy of yours and you just don’t have what it takes to be a part of nasa. Time will tell.
