      There are math models where dividing by zero makes sense. It’s just that those models don’t suit our world for now.

    Keep in mind that all the cliches about black holes are about non-rotating black holes, which don’t exist in reality. In reality, a spinning black hole has a ring singularity, not a point, and behaves much weirder and even less intuitively than the hypothetical non-rotating counterpart as it smears out spacetime into taffy.

      I remember reading this single page image from the flash where he was talking about how much he did in an atto second.

      If that’d be true,nthe flash could create black holes at will or even by accident if he isn’t careful

    thinking about the universe is already traumatizing

    Where does it end? How are we floating? What if we fall? Where does it come from?

    I don’t think about that a lot so it doesn’t give me anxiety
