BH has gone quiet.

BH must be away for the BH (!) weekend. Headline in the ARS Technica explains:

Black hole is soaring between galaxies, leaving stars in its wake​

 

[Black Hole]

Has some bugger fitted a tracker???

 

[MikeSh]

The lack of a BH is (I think) the exact opposite of a BH, so ... I have no idea where this is going.
Single malt may be a factor.

 

[Black Hole]

I tracked down the fat-shaming article: "rogue supermassive black hole" indeed! (Sounds about right)

 

[RobH1]

Far be it for us to comment, but if the cap fits........

 

[Black Hole]

"The [reversed] audio signal of popcorn popping looks exactly like a gravitaional wave from two black holes merging"

6m28s in (I don't seem to be able to set a playback start point):

 

[RobH1]

Whatever floats your boat ......!

Which one's the evil twin, the one on here or the other one?

 

[Black Hole]

Ooh err missus!

The RT has that as "Big Black Holes and Little Red Dots". Sounds like the police may have a Taser trained on you.

Wouldn't be surprised. Mad, bad, and dangerous to know!

I gave up on The Sky at Night after 20 minutes. Is it just me or are the "experts" either clueless or poor communicators?

 

[Black Hole]

Dunno, it's on my "to watch" list.

'The Sky at Night' was a BBC programme hosted by Patrick Moore. Beware of imitations.

I gave up on The Sky at Night after 20 minutes.

I gave up when that Maggie woman took over, with her gabbling. I quite liked Chris and Pete. But hey, a box got ticked, and that's all that matters.
(FWIW, I don't like Brian Cox much either.)

I think you might have that the wrong way round. It was a Patrick Moore programme hosted by the BBC.

Ooh err missus!

Good job someone didn't insert an aberrant apostrophe. Otherwise you really could have been in trouble.

 

[Black Hole]

FWIW, I don't like Brian Cox much either.

Nor me. Too much like Carl Sagan (a voice guaranteed to send me to sleep, even in my 20's).

I don't like either Brian Cox, although I'm beginning to appreciate the actor a bit.
I couldn't make sense of the programme. Whatever points the contributors were making went over my head. I wonder who the target audience was for this episode. Other PhDs in Astrophysics?

OK, I'll give it a go (although I'm only a BSc).
