plus we got to watch a special episode from The Discovery Channel some sort about the Black Hole...
the sound effects and the narration were great as if we were watching a horror film..and the sound just terrified me...and also because the narrator really did well in scaring me.
i learned that Gravity is not a force but some kind of a curvature within the fabric of time and space...
and the thing that makes me feel so creepy about the idea of the Black Hole was that it was a dying star that was gathering enough energy...
it whirls and whirls until a thick cloud of gas surrounds it like a galaxy itself. This huge star whose size and mass is indescribably large (could be half the size of the galaxy it is located) would then shrink into a very small body while retaining its how heavy is was. Thus forming a seemingly endless abyss...dark and powerful thing that can attract other celestial bodies to its depth... depth that is unknown to human... a void that keeps so many mysteries in the billions of years that the universe had existed.
This just made me shiver... Thinking that i am lucky enough to live in this age where the possibility of being eaten by this monster is far as the sky. Good thing the Black Hole in this galaxy is said to be dormant (well I'm really not sure about this..maybe i didn't hear it right) and the Sun is still young as well...
i know the earth can still survive for thousands and thousands of years (hopefully). but the next problem being faced is not about the death of the sun or the Black Hole yet...but the thinning ozone layer and global warming..
i hope people would be concerned with this issue as well...
now that i believe something can still be done...
