Light from the background galaxy circles a black hole an increasing number of times, the closer it passes the hole, and we therefore see the same galaxy in several directions (credit: Peter Laursen).

Translation... “gange rundt” means ‘times around’
Believe it or not, I figured that out.
There’s that term again, “black holes”. Didn’t the writer get the memo:That’s a racist term.

Everything goes around Stacey Abrams many times just to get by her.

Could astronomic equations be “patented” as a theoretic property of this student, or anyone?
Other things, such as tomes of fiction or pieces of music can be attributed to a particular source.
My 19yo nephew in the Philippines is in engineer college and just the other night I cammed him how to take a strip of paper to form first a loop, then the Mobius loop ...
I watched him as he wrote down the name August Fernand Mobius ... I could see his excitement.
I have taken great pleasure through the years illustrating the Mobius loop to kids.
Something clicks in about 40% of their faces
It seems the text of this article came too close to a black hole then...
No. Mathematical methods and scientific theories are two of a number of things expressly excluded from patentability by every patent code on earth.
Too bad. It seems a shame this student cannot use his inate brain power in some directly lucrative way.
Perhaps he will be invited to become part of a research group. A version of NASA. That CEO for Tesla may also need such a person on their team.
There’s nothing like the universe to bring you down to earth!
No.
Or anyone?
That's tougher. Have to ask the legal minds here. But I don't think so. If you invent something as a result of some equations you've derived, I think only the device you've invented (not the equations) is protected. So someone could take your equations and fly with them; i.e., develop them further, and invent something based on them that's completely different than your original device, if you had one, and you've got no recourse.
Also, if you invent something the government wants (anything to do with encryption, weapons, etc.), they can shut you down completely. You can't publish your results or manufacture anything that incorporates your ideas without their approval. Don't worry. I think they are pretty good about giving discoverers, inventors, etc., a nice little cut or a nice little contract, to manufacture things that have to do with national security. Anyone would love to be in such a position.
Again, this is a math major, definitely not a lawyer, speaking.
Think of the potential of seeing back in time by viewing the same point or stellar object at multiple intervals.
Well, if he’s as smart as it seems he is, there’s nothing to stop him from inventing stuff that actually is patentable.
I think he’ll do OK.
