    • Doorways may betray life from beyond the reach of our sensors. Who knows if wormholes really exist, but there is some evidence that they do. Maybe black-hole light escaping is a sign from civilizations across the universe? It shouldn't be doing that.

        This is a bridge too far. Nothing escapes from the black hole, this is elementary physics that all dilligent men basically lament.

        • the universe wouldn't be so impossibly big unless there were ways to circumvent it. since space is malleable, you can circumvent it. but not yet.

              This diagnosis may be lucid, but describing those monstrous "blackholes" linguistically is demanding. My basic lore is to avoid the topic entirely, but doing my best Laplace impersonation, "those things are damn massive!". Being lazy, I'll just stick with that.

                  Dissociative identity disorder might be largely responsible.

                      Yeah, I'm not sure I get the in joke on the tonal shift to fancy pants style, but I'm finding it wonderful and hilarious.

                        Note to self - don't make breathy laughing sounds while drinking mostly brown liquid.

                          If you drink mocha, belly laughing is a risk for sure.

                                Not true. Black holes undergo quantum decay. The tiny ones evaporate completely. You also assume our knowledge of black hole physics is complete when it is not.

                                What he said.

                                It is not inappropriate to consider black holes as separate universes. Depending on the size, the physics inside could be very different.
