I’m sure it might yield interesting results but its going to take about 300k years to get a probe to the nearest Black Hole.

The first image of a black hole was not published until 2019 (from 2017 data)—so prior to that was a theoretical concept supported by strong evidence but unconfirmed:

Considering they can’t get through the firmament, I’d say you’re right.

Whoever wrote that title needs to have their brain washed out with soap.

I think the nearest one is in Italy because I've heard astrophysicists say if you get near one you can have a
spaghetti vacation

“Yes. Articles today are written and edited by idiots.”
I believe that is a secondary headline probably written, not by the author, but by the same idiot that wrote the main headline.

“The scientist wants to send more than one probe since presumably the first one will be obliterated in the black hole.”
LOL! Another dumb post by someone that didn’t read past the fake, clickbait headline!

The nearest known black hole is Gaia BH1, which was discovered in
September 2022 by a team led by Kareem El-Badry. Gaia BH1 is
1,560 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus.
John Wiley Price says that’s racist. Even if consent is granted.

I was thinking the same thing. The nearest one ain’t exactly local.

It sounds like a good experiment to me. But contact would probably be lost and who knows how long it would take to get to the chosen black hole.

Doesn’t time stand still at the event horizon? Doesn’t that mean that the probe can’t get any further than that?

How hard can it be to find the right black hole?
