“This computer-simulated image shows gas from a tidally shredded star falling into a black hole. Some of the gas also is being ejected at high speeds into space. Astronomers observed a flare in ultraviolet and optical light from the gas falling into the black hole and glowing helium from the stars’s helium-rich gas expelled from the system.” Scientists have discovered a black hole literally sucking in a star that is millions to billions of times more massive than our own sun.  They are calling it Stellar Homicide. Awesome.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on The Joe Rogan Experience. 

This was pretty great. Joe and Neil spent two and a half hours talking about everything from conspiracies, debunking moon hoax theories, global warming, end of the world myths, asteroid mining, the matrix code, evolution, Martian origins of human life, Planet X, the Cold War with Russia, death by black hole and much, much more. 

This is really one of my favorite podcasts in a long time.

This isn’t new. SJ Gates was talking about how in the fabric of space, they found a code that is identical to human built computer code that is essentially there to auto-correct errors. 

Physicists also say that they don’t think black holes pull in all information and matter into them and that matter disappears. They now believe that all of the information that black holes take in is saved along the surface of the black hole, like a hologram. And now the theory has evolved even further to say that black holes are actually projecting everything we observe in our lives. Basically, we are living in a virtual reality hologram that’s written on the surface of a black hole. 

Yup, most of the cutting edge theories of physics and science in general right now are crazier and even scarier than any scifi movie ever written. 

My favorite things about new science is that there are some where between 10 and 26 dimensions of space and we are only aware of 3 observable ones. 

I believe it was Einstein who said that imagine how much of the universe we miss out on because our senses are limited.
