Old buildings like a church on the windswept seaside, a place just beside the edge of empire where everything may be about to unravel?

Well there's your problem chief, you got a 'm' class small planetoid sized black hole in your carburetor.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, that's how the ghosts get in

This seems like one of those things that could give me anxiety if I think about it too much.

(If you’re worried about a primordial black hole passing through you, don’t be. The study concluded it would not be fatal.)

So there's that at least!

Is the journalist that wrote this taking precautions for the ongoing pandemic?

SCP ahh phenomenon

Do we think dark matter / energy are real? Or are our models just way off?

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Multiple independent observations lead to very solid evidence that dark matter exists. It’s a question of what comprises dark matter.

I personally like the solution of primordial black holes. Recent evidence from LIGO/Virgo and the Webb telescope are strengthening the possibility that most if not all dark matter is PBH.

This is a totally separate consideration from dark energy, though, just to be clear

[-] Cutecity@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

My investigation of dialectics in science has led me to understand that the whole big bang thing is likely wrong and that space-time curvature as described was basically a thought experiment. It led me to then believe that black holes don't have singularities and don't exist below masses of around 3 solar masses. This is all supported by evidence, but I'd rather discuss this in DMs if you wanna know more. Stuff like the precession of mercury, the shape of spiral galaxy arms and dark matter/energy can be explained by fluctuations in the quantum field and electro magnetism in spinning stars, which as far as I know was kind of neglected in galaxy modeling since thoses effects are poorly understood.

Small black holes are so pog, hope they are real inshallah-script

Let loose the Great Old Ones and free me from the hell that is living

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is more like the very tiny Old Ones

Oh great, I get all the problems of a Doctor Who companion with none of the benefits. There's a primordial black hole in my building and I don't even get to visit a Celtic spa with weirdly modern morals. This sucks!

So my brain can be Swiss cheese cause of these right

(If you’re worried about a primordial black hole passing through you, don’t be. The study concluded it would not be fatal.)

PBHs would have much less mass than the stellar black holes later formed by dying stars, but they would still be extremely dense, like the mass of a mountain compacted into an area the size of an atom.

Yeah but I doubt it'd be considered organic and healthy to have the matter of a mountain compressed to .1 nm and slicing through your brain at 4x the speed of sound. Sounds like a possible stroke or aneurysm at least. Really low possibility of it happening though

[-] Saeculum@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's not a very big hole, and most bits of your brain have some level of redundancy built in.
