Lately I've been thinking a lot about black holes, and those infinitely dense singularities in them that make them what they are. I don't know much about them (like anyone does), but maybe that's why I've been so attracted to them lately. I find it interesting that something like that can exist, compromising our mathmatics and laws of physics, daring to be described as something infinite, and be, physically and mentally, shrouded in darkness, to the point where we have no way of observing them without our machines getting spaghettified. So, we just sit around thinking what might they possibly be like (which doesn't work too well, considering we know so little about them that we can't even fit them into the textbook of reality).
It's this uncomformity to the rules the universe (or at least the rules of those that interpret the universe) sets before us that make these things seem like they're bound to a world of creativity and imagination. What's even more interesting is the naked singularity. A theoretical thing, yes, but
computer simulations of the collapse of a disk of dust have indicated that these objects can exist. These only take the mystical notion of the wonderous giants a step further, shedding its darkness to reveal an even more bizzare mystery. It's mind bending to imagine seeing an object, one that escapes the gaze of light itself, up close, without having any horrible effects. Or even better, if there WERE catastrophic events! Who knows what would happen if something like this was created and forced into our existance? The scenerios to think about are nearly as interesting as the thing itself, if not moreso!
If anyone else has anything to say, about the singularities and black holes, or maybe about something you've been thinking about that relates to anything like this, please do so. I think this is a very interesting topic, and I'd love to see how other people think about it.
