omg i just find this too interesting to ignore!
read on the Yahoo! homepage about the smallest black hole ever found.
it's like the size of a large city.
and get this: it's called J1650!!
i think NASA scientists are way to uncreative in naming space thingies, what with their naming every star or black hole or whatever there is out there with a number code and an alphabet.
if it was up to me, i will probably name it John Ramses the II or the Itsy-Bitsy-Mitsy Black Hole.
subsequent smaller blackholes will just be named Itsy-Bitsy-Mitsy Black Hole the II aka The Real Deal and so on...
kinda reminds me of C3PO from Star Wars and all the wonderful modern equipment i have in my apartment right now. like my laptop is the Portege M500-310 and my kettle is Estrog F549.
every damn modern appliance i have is tagged with a serial number behind it, come ot think of it.
thank goodness us humans have not resort to that yet. we still have names and nicknames.
imagine a science fiction-ey society where i'm called M1504EL and my brother is called J1405ON. hmm....
but i digress.
this little J1650 can apparently "stretch your body into a strand of spaghetti".
it just tickles me to no end that someone like me can be thinner than Kate Moss in that black hole.
and it's from a star that burn up its fuel and collapse into its own gravity.
and the rest of the article is something cheem about Einstein being way ahead of his time and getting the estimation of this black hole right. the NASA person was actually quite excited about this fact.
and all i could think of is the spaghetti part and wondering how my brother's bottomless pit of a stomach can be stretched until THAT thin.
