BLACK HOLE!!!

WELL... I TOTALLY HAD A QUALITY POST READY TO GO TODAY BUT THEN THIS NEWS CAME OUT AND I JUST HAD TO WRITE ABOUT IT WHILE ITS HOT. HERES A LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT ME... I READ... SOMETIMES... ABOUT NEWS... AND RANDOM STUFF... ANYWAYS IM PRETTY SURE YOU ALL HAVE HEARD THE NEWS BY NOW, OR MAYBE I SENT YOU ALL THE LINK ALREADY... THE FIRST EVER BLACK HOLE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED AND RELEASED!!! OMG OMG OMG AHHHH!!! IM A SCI-FI GUY AND THE WHOLE NOTION OF BLACK HOLE INTRIGUES ME. IL GIVE MY VIEWS ON THIS IN A MOMENT, BUT FIRST LETS JUST GO OVER THE SPECS. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THEY COULDNT PHOTOGRAPH A BLACK HOLE BUT THEY HAVE NOW AND ITS A HUGE STEP FORWARD FOR SCIENCE. ANYWAYS... IT TOOK 8 CRAZY TELESCOPES, DECADES OF RESEARCH, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TO FIND A BLACK HOLE THATS 55 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY, 40 BILLION KM ACROSS, 3 MILLION TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH, AND HAS A MASS 6.5 BILLION TIMES THAT OF THE SUN. ITS A BEAST OF A BLACK HOLE! WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT BLACK HOLES AND WHAT WE DO KNOW IS A LOT OF THEORIES. WE KNOW ITS DENSE, WE KNOW NOTHING CAN ESCAPE IT... NOT EVEN LIGHT, GRAVITY AND SPACE TIME IS AFFECTED, BUT WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW. ITS NOT LIKE WE HAVE ACTUALLY WENT AND LOOKED AT ONE. THERES APPARENTLY A BLACK HOLE CLOSER TO OUR MILKY WAY BUT ITS NOWHERE THE SIZE OF THIS BEAST AND DOESNT HAVE AN ACCRETION DISC LIKE THIS ONE. YES I KNOW WORDS LOL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT SCIENCE DOESNT KNOW. THEY EVEN ADMIT THAT IF LIGHT CANT ESCAPE IT, THEN HOW IS THE LIGHT PRODUCED... WHAT IS THE LIGHT THAT WE SEE... THEN THERES THE ALL IMPORTANT QUESTION OF... WHERE DOES THE BLACK HOLE GO... THERES TONS OF SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT. SOME SAY THAT IT GOES TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE, OR THAT IT ESCAPES OUR REALITY, ANOTHER DIMENSION, ANOTHER TIME AND SPACE, WHO KNOWS AND WHO WILL EVER KNOW... WHAT IS AT THE CENTER OF THE SINGULARITY... WHAT HAPPENS PAST THE EVENT HORIZON... ITS SUPPOSED TO BE DENSE, SO DENSE THAT IT JUST COLLAPSES IN ON ITSELF... BUT THEN WHERE DOES EVERYTHING GO? EVEN IF WE WANTED TO FIND OUT WE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO... SAY WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE BLACK HOLE, THE ISSUE IS THAT WE WOULD BE CRUSHED BEFORE WE EVEN GET CLOSE TO IT, AND IF SOMEHOW WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE BLACK HOLE THERES NO WAY BACK. SHOWS LIKE STARGATE AND ANDROMEDA AND MOVIES LIKE INTERSTELLAR GIVE US A GLIMPSE OF WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT THATS ALL FOR ENTERTAINMENT. THEN AGAIN WHO KNOWS. MAYBE IT REALLY IS A DOORWAY TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT CANT JUST GO NOWHERE... EVERYTHING IS EVERYWHERE AND MATTER IS EVERYWHERE... IT CANT JUST BE GONE... IT REALLY COULD BE A HIGHER PLAN OF EXISTENCE OR CONSCIOUSNESS AS WELL. MAYBE THE BLACK HOLE IS ALIVE AND IS A LIVING ENTITY... WHO KNOWS. IF I COULD, I WOULD TOTALLY VOLUNTEER TO GO AND FIND OUT WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE. I DONT CARE IF NO ONE EVER FINDS OUT THE ANSWER, AS LONG AS I KNOW, THATS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. I THINK I WOULD WANT TO KNOW TO SATISFY MY OWN CURIOSITY. THEN WHAT ABOUT A WHITE HOLE... I GUESS THATS A TOPIC FOR ANOTHER TIME. AND WITH THIS BLURRY PHOTO, IT HAS MADE HUMANITY QUESTION SO MUCH MORE AND REALIZE HOW LITTLE WE REALLY KNOW ABOUT SPACE AND THE UNIVERSE. IT REALLY SHOWS HOW INSIGNIFICANT AND SMALL WE ARE IN THE WHOLE SCHEME OF THINGS. WHILE WE ARE ALL WORRYING ABOUT WHAT TO EAT NEXT OR WHERE TO GO FOR VACATION, AT THE END OF IT ALL, OUR EXISTENCE WONT EVEN REGISTER AS A BLIP IN THE COSMOS. SO IN THE FRACTION OF A SECOND THAT WE ARE HERE, MAKE THE BEST OF IT, AND MAKE IT COUNT!

SO WHATS YOUR TAKE ON BLACK HOLES?

BACK TO ANOTHER REVIEW

WELL WELL WELL... ITS BEEN A WHILE. I HAVENT WATCHED A MOVIE FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. IVE JUST BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK AND MEETINGS THAT I COULDNT WATCH A MOVIE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH A MOVIE WITH THE GF LAST NIGHT. WE WATCHED LIFE. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! THE MOVIE STARTS REBECCA FERGUSON, RYAN REYNOLDS, AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL. I WAS WONDERING WHY RYAN REYNOLDS WAS IN IT AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW... HE DIES OFF EARLY LOL. THAT MAKES SENSE. THE IDEA OF THE MOVIE IS GOOD AS WELL. WE FINALLY DISCOVER THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE, ONLY TO ENCOUNTER A CREATURE THAT DOESNT DIE, LIVES IN SPACE, AND TOTALLY CAN DESTROY US. THAT IS DEFINITELY A  LIFE FORM THAT DOMINATED MARS BACK THEN. THINK ABOUT HOW MANY MILLIONS OF YEARS FOR IT TO HAVE EVOLVED TO THIS STAGE... THINK ABOUT THE CREATURE... IT CAN SURVIVE THIS LONG. JUST ONE LITTLE CELL AND EVERYONE IS SCREWED. THAT CREATURE WHEN IT WAS FULL SIZED AND HAS WINGS... THATS FREAKY... AND THE FACE AND EYES OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT... ITS CREEPY. I ALSO KNEW THAT THE ENDING WAS GOING TO END THAT WAY!!! TOTALLY CALLED IT CAUSE THE OTHER WAY WOULD BE JUST LAME. I GUESS FLOATING INTO DEEP SPACE UNTIL YOU DIE IS PRETTY BAD... IF SHE WOULD LIVE FOREVER, WHO KNOWS WHERE SHE WOULD HAVE ENDED UP. ALSO, ALIENS WHO DISCOVER HER IN THE FUTURE I WONDER WHAT THEY WOULD THINK... APPARENTLY ITS JUST A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING OUT THERE IN DEEP SPACE... NOT LIKE WE CAN GET TO THE NEXT CLOSEST GALAXY. OH OH OH SO I HAD A THEORY... THIS COULD ALSO WORK AS A SET UP FOR MOTHERA!!! THAT WOULD BE COOL... MOVIE OVER ALL WAS ALRIGHT. NOTHING REALLY CRAZY, JUST A LOT OF STUPID MOVES THAT COSTED EVERYONE THEIR LIVES HAHA. SO IL GIVE THIS A 7.252/10 :)

OMG IM PASSING OUT HARD RIGHT NOW... ANYWAYS I WENT TO THE WHITECAPS GAME THE OTHER DAY AND THAT WAS NICE. GOT TO BE ON THE PITCH IN THE VIP SECTION. I ATE A LOT AND WAS BUSY SOCIALIZING. ITS JUST LIKE WHEN IM IN A SUITE FOR CANUCKS, YOU TEND TO DO MORE TALKING THE WATCHING THE GAME. IT WAS A SLOW GAME BUT IT WAS PRETTY INTENSE AND WE ACTUALLY WON 4-2 VS THE GALAXY!!! THEN SUNDAY I CHECKED OUT THE CARNIVAL AND IT SUCKED LOL. ITS LIKE TINY AND LAME. STILL SPENT SOME MONEY ON STUPID GAMES THOUGH HAHA. ALSO PLAYED SOME ARCADE GAMES AND LETS JUST SAY I WAS A WINNER THAT NIGHT :)  HAHA. AIGHT IM TIRED AND GONNA SLEEP. GOT GYM RECOVERY IN THE MORNING AND ANOTHER LONG DAY AT WORK TOMORROW. SO MUCH TO DO... SO LITTLE TIME... SIGH... WHAT IS LIFE... LOL
