Finding Your Own Moral Compass: The Paradox of Drugs and Sin

Graduate Naked Singularity: Is Event Horizon Observed or Hypothetical?
I think scientists calculated the size of the event horizon of a black hole... I read it in a book a few days ago. Of what I remember it was tiny. About 50km diameter. So the eh is a lot smaller than the star was One question about the black hole in the centre of our galaxy and others. Are we...- dave19903652
