| 100% | Black hole physics gets down to the real nitty gritty, edges of what we know about physics. And of course that's why it attracts the top theoreticians because it's a chance to make that breakthrough. You're going to unknown territory. There are suggestions that this speed limit on communication and transport, the speed of light, you can't go faster than the speed of light and you can't send information faster than the speed of light. But the physics of black hole suggests, although it's still uncertain, that there may be other ways to send information using the physics of black holes or using black holes themselves. That might imply there's some practical way to take advantage of that. | ▶️ |
| 100% | We want to find as direct evidence as we can that a massive compact object, a dark star, is pulling on a companion star. So the way to do that is to measure the motion of the companion star. Since you can never directly take a photograph of a black hole, it just appears black, the best you can really do is measure its influence on material around it. We can then look for minute shifts in the color of the light coming from the star. And if these shifts are found and they go back and forth periodically, then that's an indication that something is tugging on the star. | ▶️ |
