  Die, spam, die
 
The latest form of cockroach: the other day I used Google to find an etymology. Google took me to a page in some online dictionary. Now I am getting spam, with the word I looked up in the subject line. New meaning to the term "dictionary attack". I (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Black Holes
 
(...) Hate to be a bummer, but the only matter black holes "emit" would be Hawking Radiation, and scientists are unsure about what will happen when a black hole stops. X-ray are a type of light, and since, by definition, black holes don't emit (...) (21 years ago, 15-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Black Holes
 
(...) "infinite toilet flush" as you call it is using a three dimensional model to describe 4 dimensional spacetime. In the typical diagram, the x and y axis describe area, while the z axis (up and down) describes graviational warping of spacetime. (...) (21 years ago, 15-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

  Re: Black Holes
 
(...) The "matter" a black hole gives off is Xrays. The constant streamout of Xrays is what will, in about 10e60 years (what? no exponent in FTX?) cause black holes to start exploding. At this time, exploding black holes will be the only source of (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Black Holes
 
No, Stefan, a Black Hole is a collapsed super-giant star. If a star is like our sun it will grow, then shrink to a white dwarf. If it were some bigger, it would collapse to a neutron star (where a spoonful weighs millions of tons), and if it were a (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Black Holes
 
(...) If it's a rotating black hole (and just about everything in the universe rotates), then the vacuum solution to the Einstein Field equations gives a flat ring shaped singularity rather than a point. (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Black Holes
 
(...) That's the prevailing theory. Another is that they really are a toilet flush, with all of the sucked in matter getting spat out somewhere else through a spatial wormhole of some sort.

  Black Holes
 
A Black Hole is supposed to be a collapsed neutron (type?) star, right? So then, why is a Black Hole always depicted as an infinite toilet-flush? I can understand that the "matter disc" forms into a disc because of gravity, like the rings of a (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)
