Mysterious Universe

I guess people just want excuses to smash things sometimes. Last night after the game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals (ice hockey if you’re not familiar) there was a riot in Vancouver after the Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins. 

I dont think the poop burgers are Real…. There was a concept put forward a few years back, by a group called ‘yes men’ or ‘the yes men’, called “new burger”, basically taking the poop from wealthy countries and making recycled meat for the poor in less develloped countries. They were making a statement about the distribution of wealth and resources, and these guys might just be making a joke, I don’t think the poop burgers are Real, or for that matter will be.
Besides, how sure could they be Not to transfer the horrid disease that come from poo?

“This guy doesn’t understand how black holes work”, he says. Guys, you are making a black hole some kind of cosmic vacuum cleaner that reaches ever outwards and sucks everything in. Probably you did not mean this. Just to make sure those who read comments here don’t get a mistaken impression: a black hole is as much a gravity well as any other celestial object of the same mass. If the Moon were made into a black hole right now, there would be no difference in its orbit, in the tidal effects, or anything else — except of course the reflected light would no longer be there. But the gravity effects from a black hole the mass of Moon are exactly the same as those from the Moon itself.

If there were a black hole of reasonable size orbiting inside the earth with any major departures from the absolute center, it would be easily (-ish) detectable by the periodic gravitic anomalies it would generate. A tiny, small black hole, in contrast, would be detectable by its Hawking radiation, up to the point of it going *poof*.

That “black hole in the center of the Earth” concept was tackled in a podcast novel,”Singularity”. Pretty good story.
