Strange Black Holes to Fall Through
Filed Under Creativity, Fun Stuff, Thoughts | 2 Comments
Ran into this fascinating video by the film makers Phil Sansom and Olly Williams about suddenly appearing black holes you can fall or climb through…
If this happens to our clueless office worker right there at work, could it not also happen to a boy of 11 and his little sister?
And, indeed, it has. These events are cronicled in the “Underlander Chronicles” by Suzanne Collins, a series of book that I can only warmly recommend if you are a parent who likes to read to the off-spring. The first book, Gregor the Overlander, got into our hands at a second hand book store for a mere quarter – you just have to recognize a treasure when it finds you. We read this chapter by chapter as good night literature and had to continue with the second book immediately. Today we finished this one and now we have a problem how to quickly get the third one.

Interesting concept. The super collider being built in Europe (france specifically) supposedly had a chance to create small mini-black holes but luckily that did not happen.
And have you heard that the scientist at CERN have now realized that they have some major mistake in their calculations – calculations they had based their statement on that firing up the Large Hadron Collider would never create a black hole in any danger to swallow the earth.
That’ll be so cool when they finally turn it on in half a year or so and we all get sucked into a black hole – that we finally live the science fiction that I love so much.
