You have to reduce the number of suns if you are using Antares-sized suns. Otherwise you’ll have way too many leftovers.

“BLACK HOLE?”
Isn’t that a racist statement? Should it be called a “darkly colored hole” instead?
I’m simply offended.

Here’s a tip. A thousand seconds is a coffee break. A million seconds is a vacation. A billion seconds is a career and a trillion seconds is 312 centuries.
