I strictly browse All in 1-Hour view. So if I end up posting in your niche little community, that’s why.

  • Yeah, most of James’ issues are just him trying to do the right thing. He tends to jump in head first at that point.

    spoiler

    Like him walking into a clearly radioactive room, despite warning signs being everywhere and a literal siren going off. All because he saw some injured/sick people lying on the ground and he didn’t hesitate to help.

    Or flying the ship into a pile of ruble looking for the hybrid (that doesn’t happen in the book).


  • Being a fan of The Expanse this is really cool. It really puts the size of a lot of the moons and dwarf planets from the series into perspective. Ganymede for example, was used by pregnant mothers in the outer-system because it was large enough to still have an active core and thus a magnetosphere. Shielding the surface from a lot of radiation. Their main food crops were grown there for the same reason.

    Io, Callisto, Europa, Eris, Titan, Ceres, and a few others all make appearances too. It’s an amazing series, for those who haven’t read/seen it, whether you read the books or watch the show.

    I’m aware of the Penrose diagram and also watch PBS SpaceTime :)

    But I was referring more to the frame of reference of our universe vs that of being inside a blackhole (assuming you could magically avoid being ripped apart by gravity). To an observer inside a blackhole, “time” on the outside would blink by almost instantly. I wasn’t talking about moving through an infinite universe or near/into a black hole. Just stationary, floating just beyond the event horizon, looking out. Hence the asterisk on basically*.

    I was leading them to what MotoAsh posted. But they beat me to it while I was typing.

    Edit: He even references what I’m talking about at 0:44 in the SpaceTime video. But from the frame of reference of an outside observer.

    Yes, but if you’re beyond the event horizon of a black hole time becomes basically* irrelevant. You could literally turn around, look back out towards the rest of he universe, and watch all of time play out in the blink of an eye.

    You know that scene in Interstellar where they land on the planet for 5 minutes, but 20 years passes for everyone else due to the planet’s mass? It’s the same thing, but a billion-billion-billion times more severe.
