Guess I'll know in a month how well the special effects in Interstellar hold up.

what if they peek and see the proper timeline where humanity is prosperous?

Title would seem to imply a naked black hole.
(Of course, a naked black hole would destroy all sorts of other implications).

"Just" viewing the event horizon isn't nearly so attention-grabbing.
Also not necessarily all that interesting (imo).






Exactly.

I dunno seeing the event horizon I think can be pretty cool.

The image on the right is what can be expected to be seen this year or next which is pretty cool considering the distances and scales this is taking place on.

Though I find Sag A* (and all black holes, really) endlessly fascinating. They just get more interesting the more you know about them.

Whatever you atheist bastards do, don't ask "What does God need with a starship?" I'm not getting zapped for your asses!

Oh, I find black holes fascinating too.
And certainly this will produce useful information.

I guess it's just that, after having personally spent 20+ years reading about and studying them, that to see a headline like "look inside a black hole" tossed around - considering the implications that would come with an actual naked black hole - and over-reactions to what won't be nearly the results most people are expecting, it's disappointing that such terms are used like that.

I wouldn't. I would swim away as hard as I could. The human will is stronger than gravy.

Only if you have the power of friendship.

Only if you have the power of friendship.

and that power has to have been inside you all along. only then.

I hope they are more interesting than the ones in No Man's Sky.

I hope they are more interesting than the ones in No Man's Sky.

Making anything more interesting than No Man's Sky isn't particularly a challenging feat
