  • I would assume that anything that lies within the photon sphere could never have a stable orbit. The photon sphere is the point that light itself orbits the black hole and its 1.5x the radius of the blackhole itself. Anything closer to the singularity than this boundry is doomed to fall into the singularity as it would require faster than light speeds to maintain any stable orbit.

    I wonder if anything could actually cross the photon sphere at all without getting vaporized by potentially billions of years of accumulated light that got stuck orbiting the black hole.









  • I was a huge blink182 fan back in 99-02. I didn’t understand what the prank in that prank call was. It wasn’t until much much later that I started going through their albums again that I realized what Mark was actually saying. Looked up the lyrics and my jaw hit the floor. I remember sitting in front of my computer laughing until I was sweating at not only how that’s a legit good prank call but I’d been singing it wrong for the better part to two decades.
