I’m watching The Universe again, and they’re talking about black holes. I have to stop and remind myself they are talking about stars and not certain people. You know the type- they have a force field so intense that it draws you near them, only to be sucked into the vast sea of darkness. Now I know why I love astronomy- its real life explained in time+space.
“Gravity will pull things around, and draw them near it. In fact, stars will happily orbit the black hole for most of it’s life, and won’t actually get sucked in by the “fatal attraction” of it. But if you do venture too close, extremely close to the edge, then you do get sucked in.”
