They found God.
Not that they would ever admit that as they like being god.

I was in the midst of my formative years at the time of the Challenger disaster and now, some 29 years later still think of the expansion of the acronym we cruelly joked about.
Need Another Seven Astronauts.
If you've not seen it, Prof Brian Greene does an excellent video on string theory, M-theory and the implications. M-THEORY & STRING THEORY (Explained) - YouTube
Of particular interest was the assertion that if given enough energy, a string can expand to a limitless size and can even form a surface or membrane, oft referred to as a brane. The "Big Bang" is postulated as being a result of the collision of two such branes - our universe resides on one of them and we are said to never have the ability to directly observe any others - though we may observe signs of their influence.
PBS Space Time is another fascinating youtube channel. The concepts and mathematics alone are enough to make a grown man weep.

Amongst others as in one of the astronauts had 2 blue eyes - one blew this way...

Which is a sign of a good scientist. After all, no scientific theory can be proven, only disproven.

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" isn’t just a tale of scrappy rebels fighting against an evil Empire. With the issues it raises, including device authentication, asset management, and privilege control, it’s also a story about information security. Well, more like a cautionary tale. Always encrypt the plans for your Death Star

And the lesson to be learned here is: Don't encourage bad writers to make nonsense movies by paying to watch them.

Researchers have uncovered an advanced malware-based operation that siphoned more than 600 gigabytes from about 70 targets in a broad range of industries, including critical infrastructure, news media, and scientific research. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

I have no idea how you connected that quote to this article, but now I have another reason to unplug my microphone

Yeah, sometimes I type without a clue. I think it was implying that WWIII would be fought on the cyber.
Gotta stop Rum Mondays, I guess.

The rise of cloud computing has made enterprise software more accessible than ever before, but the quality of code and its ability to streamline daily business operations still falls short. Next report: Rise of 'low-code' development gives rise to need for more developers to fix 'low-code' solutions
EDIT - Sorry, looks like they pulled this article.

When three physicists first discovered through their calculations that a decaying atom moving through the vacuum experiences a friction-like force, they were highly suspicious. You mean all my under-graduate physics problems were lies?

Link Fail.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

So bits are falling off of a moving object, and they're surprised that it loses momentum?
What school did they study at? I'll put it on my blacklist for future generations of Wals.

But you might have to wait until 2018 to see what black holes actually look like. Are they using a really big flash?
|
|
|
|
|
Is that like a while back, when they were going to provide fantastic data about stuff falling into black holes?
Or like one of the other three-dozen times when they were going to produce incredible proof of black holes?
Give it a couple of months; nothing will come of it, and the claim will be erased from memory.

I'm just literally expecting this[^]...

I actually expect something more like this[^]
I know it has nothing to do with the film, but the point is... black hole is supposed to suck the light, but from a certain distance you can still see the light out of its gravity field
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If black holes existed, they'd more likely look like the brightest stars in the sky.

So why don't we call them bright holes?

Because people are so stuck on the idea "light can't escape" that they forget the laws of Physics.

I though "light can't escape" was a law of Physics.
Then again, I'm not a physicist
|
|
|
|
|
heh.
It's an idea, not a law.
It's an "Ooooh! Woon' it be kewl if....!" idea, at that.
If you want to write a story:
0. Start with a silly idea.
1. Work on the science to back it up.
If you want to describe the universe, skip step 0.
