Apparently if this trend continues we could be there in the next 10 years!

Does that mean I am going to lose power (from electric company) soon?

[entropy12]

The same scientists working on “cold fusion” are also working on black holes issue.

I’ll listen to ACDC before AOC any day of the week.

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

One of the best songs, and accompanying videos, of the 1990's. IMO

Yeah but it will seem like a lot longer because we're going like 200 times the speed of light.

[Zuriel]

Nothing to worry about (if you are immune to the ‘second death’). God is going to make a new heaven and earth!

[existentially_kuffer]

Who friggen cares!

I am more concerned about being sucked into a black hole than climate change, the ChiCom Plague scamdemic and every other leftist invention. Hopefully, I will be around to see the singularity. Be the singularity. See the singularity. Be the Ball

Good, bring it

Might be a better way to go than where we’re headed now.

Ok, do we need to have a lockdown for the black hole? Or just put on the helmet Ron?

Speed of the Earth: 141mps X 60 seconds X 60 minutes X 24 hrs X 365 days = 4.5 billion miles a year.

Distance to Black Hole: 25,800 light years at 6 trillion miles each = 155 thousand trillion miles away.

Even if we were headed straight for it (we're not) it would take 34.5 million years to get there.

Not gonna worry about it.

I am not a rocket scientist, but I am possibly sure that it is our solar system that is orbiting our galaxy and not Earth.

That Earth is just going along for the ride.

If the Dims win the Senate we only have 1 year left.

[Still Thinking]

What have you got against black ho’s? Got some kinda waycissss?

[Still Thinking]

Got = you. Stupid Android spellcheck

[dfwgator]

Good, bring it

Wouldn't that just be, so 2020?

[flaglady47]

Right now we are going down Alice in Wonderland’s Rabbit Hole. The Black Hole is the least of our worries.

[Coffee... Black... No Sugar]

Well ... all this time I thought we were traveling counter-clockwise ...

I doubt I’ll ever feel oriented again.

[Fightin Whitey]

I doubt I’ll ever feel oriented again.

Think you probably meant "asianted".
