fangrrl_squeesAs I came home in a strangely foul mood, I decided to break out the big guns: fattening food, a bottle of wine, and my brand-spanking-new Doctor Who DVDs. Naturally, given my horrible mood, I found something to grumble at.
So, I'll admit that my grasp on science ain't the best. Nor do I usually expect anything resembling reliable science in my sci-fi but...
If the black hole of "The Impossible Planet" is tearing all sorts of shit apart
(hold on, the really fab scary bit is on. Poor Toby.)
Anyways, as I was saying. If the black hole is apparently *still* hauling in new material and has apparently been on the spot marked X for zillions of years, either it's got an event horizon the size of, oh, about 90% of the 'verse, or said event horizon is expanding. Lots.
WTF?
I don't know much about black holes, but that one in TIP/TSP just ain't working for me. And would it have killed them to suggest a blueshift as all that energy is accelerating into the black hole?
Okay, so maybe I've read a bit more about black holes than I really need to.
Definitely a hint of a Firefly-influence in the soundtrack when the Scarlet System falls into the black hole. *Sighs happily and reaches for the wineglass*
And, on another note entirely, I've just DL'd the LJ talk thingummy and I'm online as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
