Question Wat, for a spinning Kerr black hole with a ring singularity, would it be less lethal and perhaps even navigable because of that spinning motion?

In the idealized mathematical extension for a Kerr black hole, sure, but in reality, no. You would be destroyed by the mass inflation ...

I think the black hole information paradox has already been solved, although the "solution" is still being investigated. What it boils down to is that black holes don't evaporate because that would violate quantum mechanics central tenet that information cannot be destroyed

No, black holes do ...

Yes. Virtually all meteorites are that old and from an asteroid. It was a rocky meteor which has some iron, but still a meteorite low in iron. It was likely not hot, but rather just warm. Meteorites are cold and only the crust gets hot enough to evaporate during the atmospheric entry, but this ...

I don't have Windows 11 but I still used this to troubleshoot and none of these got rid of that error.

Here's a screenshot-- I tried everything and nothing works, I tried to verify integrity of the files and that was fine and I also reinstalled the steam client and I keep getting this error when I try to run the game.

You can even see the Steam client running here and somehow this error still keeps ...

16 meteorites found so far after a recent fall in Germany: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Meteoriteneinschlag-in-Elmshorn-Bisher-13-Teile-gefunden,meteorit146.html

Did you hear about the meteorite that fell into someone's living room in New Jersey? It is estimated to be 4.5 ...

It's been a severe solar storm over the past days, K-index peaking up to 8 and 9 and aurora visible far, far south. Has anyone taken pictures from unusual areas?
I was aware but couldn't see it with overcast skies and rain. :( But there were amazing photos from all over the US, even some taken ...

The slowness of black hole evaporation really is astonishing. Even though I already understood stood as much, I was still taken aback by how small the correction to the event horizon size because of it turns out to be. I figured it would at least be, like, a micrometer or something, which you ...

The forums are so silent these days, so here's a challenge question, something I certainly struggle to wrap my head around. For a distant observer it will take an infinite time to see an astronaut fall into a black hole. But it will take a finite time for the same observer to see the black hole ...

Hey I'm having major problems with SE after the update.  It wont load at all because it says I need to have the Steam client running in order to play it?  But I get that same error message whether I try to run SE from the desktop or from the Steam Client itself-- what's going on?

Sort of reminds me of the US in Vietnam or either the US or Russia in Afghanistan.  More wars that should never have happened.

My Olympus M43 cameras do the same thing when in "Live View Boost" mode, they increase the gain to make star clusters visible in the live view LCD even in areas of high light pollution. Very useful for proper framing and for using manual focus. The only drawback is the frame rate goes down (but who ...

I need to report that changing max percentage of RAM for SE to use to 100% was a bad idea, I crashed my computer as soon as I went to a black hole and tried to use my browser (Firefox) at the same time lol. So I put that back down to 85% (default) and it's working fine again.

I also had to shave 15 ...

I made the following changes:

changed max video memory for SE to use to 8 GB

changed max RAM for SE to use to 32 GB

changed max percentage of RAM for SE to use to 100%

changed various other minor settings like setting jpg screenshots to 100%

I noticed that vram usage is set to 1 (maximum ...

Thanks Doc! Do you think I should go into my main-user.cfg and set the VRAM to the maximum of the graphics card? I'm not sure how well that setting works because according to Afterburner OSD I am using close to the full 6 GB even when setting it to 4 GB in the cfg file. In practice, are you supposed ...
