I feel like the ♏ Scorpius constellation is quieter than the other constellations when it comes to black holes . Like it’s black holes are fizzing out compared to proud leo ♌
😄😄❤️
Another great video!
wish we had a way of looking at stars in real time too.. That would be a real learning tool eh?
You would need to look through wormholes.
I’m still wondering if black holes are still really what they are.
Or if they are something else. The fact we can only observe them indirectly is pretty much what makes me doubt.
Well, there’s a lot we don’t know about them. Especially about their interior.
Our technology isnt advanced yet. Hopefully in our lifetimes. We could possibly see real photos to videos of them. Hopefully even hear the actual sounds of them.
This man’s voice sounds like a movie trailer
