"Have A Nice Diurnal Anomaly"

(Before you read this, let it be known that I wrote this a while ago and just never posted it, so now I shall! Meaning, I'm not in astronomy class anymore, but I am still reading the book)

So, I am sitting here and there are two books in front of me. One called "A Beginner's Guide to the Universe" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe". I bet you can't guess which one I'm reading. The only reason the other one is in fro t of me is because I'm I my astronomy class.

Blogging is a lot harder than I originally thought, and it is very hard to be original, isn't it? I know someone super original though, and I think I will strive for that level of random fun originality! Just not now, I'm too lazy. But I do want to share some fun information of the workings of the universe!

First of all, learning about supermassive black holes has been the best thing this class has done for me, it is the most interesting thing that ever made me want to pay attention (which isn't very often). First of all, if you ever had the opportunity to get anywhere near a black hole, and you watched someone drive right into it, they would slow down, time slows down for them (from the perspective of the person outside) and from the person driving into the black hole, they go about as normal, and everything outside is going slow. So if the person in the black hole can go the speed of light and doesn't cross the Schwartzchild Radius (the point of no return, it is the point where going the speed of light will not get you anywhere, and you can't go faster than the speed of light so if you get to this point, you're screwed.) and you make it out alive, the other person will no longer be there because it may be billions of years into the future and you would never know it! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO AMAZED OF THE THINGS IN THE SKY. ok, now for the less fortunate ending of this, if you get to the Schwartzchild Radius and don't make it out, you go through the process of spagetification, which is a real word, I just don't know if I spelled it right. This is what it sounds like, the gravity of the black hole, being so great, before it breaks you into billions of particles, first it stretches you out until you are as thin and noodle-y as a strand of spaghetti. Oh, and also, at the "end" of a "bottomless" black hole, is a never-ending universe. So basically, some scientists believe that the "end" of the black hole is the Big Bang for a completely different universe outside of our own. There is a diagram I drew to explain this and if I figure out how to put it on here I will show you! 

Okay, I know that was super cool, but to be honest, not even that beats the amazing way the universe works according to Douglas Adams, whom I wish was still alive because I would totally marry him.
