1424607	2016-08-17 11:26:00	This is exciting news.	Bobh (5192)
1424608	2016-08-17 21:56:00	no its BS . Just more BS click bait headlines. "created" in the headline "simulated" in the actual story. Simulated, No it wasnt even simulated either . "but other physicists say we can't apply what we learn from black hole analogues to actual black holes" "it doesn't prove that Hawking radiation exists around astrophysical black holes." and least they are adding both sides of the story, that often doesnt happen	1101 (13337)
1424609	2016-08-18 02:08:00	Simulated. Uhuh.... Now a real one would be news....as the equipment, kids and walls all disappear into it.	pctek (84)
1424610	2016-08-18 03:02:00	Simulated. Uhuh.... Now a real one would be news....as the equipment, kids and walls all disappear into it. ..only to re-appear inside a bookcase; according to the last sci-fi movie I watched	1101 (13337)

1424612	2016-08-18 05:27:00	Also this: SpaceEngine - a free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles. http://en.spaceengine.org/	zqwerty (97)

We weren’t in the same class were we R2x1? :) And we didn’t make a super cracker out of the inner of a brown paper roll stuffed with sodium and sugar and plant it in the middle of the local Fire Brigades Guy Fawkes Bonfire did we. :eek: That also made a Black Hole and put the Bonfire out to boot. :D	B.M.

A detonator with about 1/2" of fuse put in a potato among the other potatoes at the primary school bonfire all in its little clay jacket got a few Dads just back from the war paying attention pretty impressively. For simpler entertainment, a wax match head in a shallow hole in a stick of chalk sometimes had the teacher using a pretty emphatic turn of phrase. Sodium and sugar was not on our list, but a pellet of sodium did come close to putting a toilet pan in orbit. Carbide granules from the acetylene lights used in flounder hunts coated in wax and put in inkwells caused petty mountains of flowing blue-black froth when an unwary student feeling the gritty stuff resist his attempts to dip the pen into the ink inspired him to stir vigorously, fortunately we never found a way of remotely igniting the acetylene filled froth. Kids were much better behaved than the present generation in those days, which is probably very lucky for civilisation. :devil :eek:	R2x1 (4628)
