New study proves Hawking was right, black holes only get bigger

Physicists have said that they have proven, by analyzing gravitational waves from space, a theory developed by Stephen Hawking in the 1970s, which states that black holes cannot decrease in surface area over time.

In a study published on Monday, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Cornell University shared their findings from a research project which analyzed ripples in spacetime created by two black holes that spiraled inward and eventually merged into one bigger black hole.

The ripples studied were the first gravitational waves ever identified, detected by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory in 2015.

Splitting the gravitational wave data into time segments before and after the black holes merged, the researchers calculated the surface areas of the black holes in both periods.

The physicists found that the surface area of the new black hole was actually greater than the two initial black holes combined. The finding confirms a prediction made by famed scientist, Stephen Hawking, in the 1970s, in which he stated that black holes cannot decrease in surface area as it mirrored a rule in physics, that entropy or disorder can’t decrease over time.

Hawking’s law states that the surface area of the black hole won’t increase on its own, but when things enter it, it gains mass and correspondingly its surface area increases.

While incoming objects can make the black hole spin, which decreases surface area, the size increase due to the additional mass will always be greater than the size lost to spinning.

“It’s the first time that we can put a number on this,” said Maximiliano Isi of MIT.

The premise was also born out of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity which describes the physics and relationship behind black holes and gravitational waves.

The black hole here in the US is definitely getting bigger by the second.

Dallas County officials spar over ‘black hole’ comment

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Black holes and dark matter/energy in general are extremely effective at attracting research dollars to the event horizon, from which they never return.

Black holes are another mistake of science. They were invented as a way to explain why galaxies don’t fly apart as they spin, if gravity is what pulls them together. Gravity could not do it alone, so what to do? Invent invisible stuff with more gravity of course!

Mainstream science will catch on to the Electric Universe about the time the electric grid fries, the earth rolls over and the unlucky survivors all go back to square one.

A timely paper written by a friend of mine, touches on, of all things, Stephen Hawking, the flat earth, etc. posting link, just for fun for anyone interested in reading it.

fun read. thanks Rev!
speaking of transgender, i think miles is the sorcha faal. maybe jeremy can pop in on her sometime and get her thoughts on FE. they’re probably similar. if he could do a write-up after interviewing them both it would be a heck of a pdf. it could be called “CIA: Your Roots are Showing”.

awww stucky you reacted exactly like I knew you would, did you enjoy the adrenaline angst. Not nice of me to post for a reaction :). I personally enjoy reading a lot of viewpoints, doesn’t mean I believe everything I read or post…………………

I’m not sure which is more concerning, the hubris required to state something that preposterous or the gullibility to believe it.

Ripples in spacetime.
