It's the most fascinating phenomenon in the universe, and at the same time the most terrifying one. It's hard to imagine something so powerful. Why do they exist? What's inside the event horizon and what happens there? It's a very bizarre phenomenon. And some scientists think it's possible that the known laws of physics don't exist inside the black hole. I even heard a theory that black holes are like wormholes in a way. And that there is something on the other side. It's just a theory, but thinking about all those possibilities is exhilarating.OhJohnNo said:
I take a little issue with the way you presented the article Mr. Article Writer.
They never saw images of a star. In fact isn't a direct observation at all, but it seems implied to be by you. They observed a predicted UV flare, and even pretty much say there in the quotes that it's possible, but as far as they know unlikely, that it is simply something they don't know about yet.
Also this wouldn't be the first time we have seen a star being torn apart by a black hole either:
There are several stars in our own galaxy that are being torn apart by the black holes they orbit.

Personally, I feel like this news is out of this world.
... Puns aside, we now know what a black hole does to a star! Now, let's hope that doesn't happen to us, since that's extremely, extremely unlikely.
... Right?

... And yet, the kangaroo.
... I don't know where I was going with that. Really, though, I have to wonder: What if Earth got pulled into a black hole? We would get fucked UP, that's what. ... But I imagine it would be hilarious to watch.

And all Science Fiction leaped in glee, that they can now do that in their shows.
And Black Holes make me think of Galactic Supervolcanoes. You never know when one might just act up and instantaneously void almost all life on a planet/solar system/galaxy. How exciting.
