@th3j35t3r The insight that best explained black holes for me is that the reason light can't escape them is because the gravity is so powerful that spacetime itself-the fabric THROUGH which light travels-is moving faster than light toward the center mass.Like a fish trying to swim up a waterfall, light cannot outrun the flow of spacetime.
The math of General Relativity breaks down when anything moves faster than light. It is similar to dividing by zero.
@th3j35t3r A great man that outlived his diagnosis far beyond expected and opened minds and dimensions to a generation after Carl Sagan's loss.
The successor to Einstein, he furthered cosmology and was best known for his work on Black Holes (both in better defining them and in better describing them for the rest of us normmies).

The entire "ghost security" thing was a fake. It was just Smith and a couple of Twitter geeks stealing info from other researchers, then re-packaging it as their own, and selling it to the government..
What Smith didn't know at the time was that the other researchers he was stealing from were already giving their info to law enforcement and certain agencies, for free.
@th3j35t3r can back me up on this.

The long grift: Trump's been raising campaign funds since the day he took office for his 2020 re-election campaign. Which is not fucking normal, even if u take into account he's unlikely to make it thru his first term.
Lucky he's not known for 'donating' to his own 'charities' ?

Naomi Parker aka 'Rosie the Riveter' passed away aged 96 on January 20th of 2018. I only just heard about this and feel it should have been at least on the news at the time. So...

Trumps Wall Street Journal interview. Read this (if you can), then let it sink in - this utter fuckup is the President.
I cannot recommend this enough. A true, honest, and sober look at the choices we have ahead of us as a species. (Author of Sapiens and Homo Deus, two books I highly recommend).
