What would you throw in a black hole?

[Lacy33]

How about the phrase "Life is too short"?

How can life be too short? Living is the longest thing you'll ever do, that makes no sense to me...

Well maybe not life itself, put the phrase would sure get stretched out.

Now, what kind of black hole are we talking about here?

Rotating, non-rotating? Neutral, charged?

It would take years before all the paperwork clears and you're given the OK to throw them in.

Their is a good chance that the qualifying paper work might end up in the hole as well.

I would throw politicians and their political parties in a black hole. I am sick of people being party line without looking at the ideals that these people promote. [/rant]

 

[IMP]

I would throw in a fixed-rate strobe light and watch it as long as I could.

String theorists!

I once heard someone make the observation that if the LHC black hole scares were credible, the worst part about the LHC sucking us all into a black hole would be the fact that we would be stuck, for all eternity, behind the event horizon, with all the string theorists who would never let us forget that they were right.

I would throw in money and anything that can be used to make money.

It's just an unnecessary evil. Native Americans survived perfectly fine without money for a long time, I'm sure civilized society can do the same...

Imagine, everyone actually doing a job because it benefits society, and not just because it makes you money... It's a novel idea IMO

I had a great idea. We do away with money. Instead people receive tokens in proportion to how well they help others. We'll call these TokenOfGoodness. How many a person got would be decided as fairly as possible. The person providing the good deed (clean their house, build them a car, mow their lawn...) would negotiate with the person receiving it and they would decide on a LevelOfGoodness. If they couldn't decide then the recipient would look elsewhere. The person receiving the good deed would also have to do good deeds to earn tokens. We dispense with that "Evil Money" and only use TokensOfGoodness and people would only get what they fairly deserve.

Hmmm... something oddly familar there.
[EDIT: Suggested design for the TOG:

[2ndEdit]: I think "Level of Goodness" is too awkward a phrase and so suggest the acronym of "Principle Relative Increment of Contributed Ethic" or "P.R.I.C.E."

I'd probably just spit into it and watch as my saliva drifts off into the abyss.

 

[Loren Booda]

I'd throw in an equivalent black hole and observe the evolving radiation of the aspherical horizon areas, thus testing the generalized second law of thermodynamics.

Great idea...it was done https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=2384381&postcount=32" .
