29 Black Holes Quotes for You to Enjoy

Black holes, we all know, are these regions where if an object falls in, it can't get out, but the puzzle that many struggled with over the decades is, what happens to the information that an object contains when it falls into a black hole. Is it simply lost? Brian Greene

There's a lot of cruelty going on all the time, and I'm not just talking about inter-human cruelty. I'm talking about whole species becoming extinct, asteroids hitting planets, black holes gobbling up stars. Barbara Ehrenreich

Time Black Cruelty Stars Black Holes About Talking Becoming Lot Up Hitting Going Just Holes Planets Whole Species Extinct

Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume. So our understanding of the center of black holes doesn't make sense, which is a big clue to physicists that we don't have our physics quite right. Andrea M. Ghez

My work on black holes was on the connection between black holes and elementary particles. Ashoke Sen

The size of the effect that we measured from the first event, the merging of two black holes, the actual size of the signal was about one thousandth the size of a proton, what it did to our apparatus. Barry Barish

Black holes provide theoreticians with an important theoretical laboratory to test ideas. Conditions within a black hole are so extreme, that by analyzing aspects of black holes we see space and time in an exotic environment, one that has shed important, and sometimes perplexing, new light on their fundamental nature. Brian Greene

Black holes are pretty scary when you ponder them. They seem nihilistic, infinitely destructive on an inconceivable scale, notwithstanding the ideas of Hawking radiation. James Marsh

Black holes can bang against space-time as mallets on a drum and have a very characteristic song. Janna Levin

Gravitational waves will bring us exquisitely accurate maps of black holes - maps of their space-time. Those maps will make it crystal clear whether or not what we're dealing with are black holes as described by general relativity. Kip Thorne

If you wanted to travel backwards in time, you're out of luck. We have theories on how it might be possible to do so, but they all involve wormholes and black holes and other stuff that would probably kill you. If you want to travel forward in time, you just have to go really fast. Kyle Hill

Time You Travel Backwards Black Luck Other Out Possible Would Black Holes Stuff Involve How Go Just Want Wanted Holes Might Really Theories Forward Fast

A lot of the things you see in science fiction revolve around black holes because black holes are strong enough to rip the fabric of space and time. Michio Kaku

I would love to be remembered for ridding the world of disease, but my knowledge of science comes from episodes of 'Nova' and shows on the Discovery Channel. I don't think a superficial understanding of shark behavior and black holes can help cure diseases. Miriam Shor

It's hard for me to speculate about what motivates somebody like Stephen Hawking or Elon Musk to talk so extensively about AI. I'd have to guess that talking about black holes gets boring after awhile - it's a slowly developing topic. Oren Etzioni

Finding the first seed black holes could help reveal how the relation between black holes and their host galaxies evolved over time. Priyamvada Natarajan

Evidence has been mounting for the key role that black holes play in the process of galaxy formation. But it now appears that they are likely the prima donnas of this space opera. Priyamvada Natarajan

The waves travel with the velocity of light and slightly squeeze and stretch space transverse to the direction of their motion. The first waves we measured came from the collision of two black holes each about 30 times the mass of our sun. Rainer Weiss

We've seen black holes, which is already wonderful. We also expect to see the merger of neutron stars, and that was a thing that actually gave this field a certain credibility when it was discovered that there were pairs of neutron stars in our galaxy, and people stopped laughing at us when that was found out. Rainer Weiss

People Wonderful Black Seen Field Stars Gave Our Out Laughing See Black Holes Merger Also Were Discovered Expect Stopped Which Holes Galaxy Us Certain Pairs Found Credibility Actually Thing

For reasons probably related to the popular vision of Albert Einstein and, also, the threat posed by black holes in comic books and science fiction, our gravitational wave discoveries have had an amazing public impact. Rainer Weiss

There are no black holes in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity. Stephen Hawking
