      So does your mom!

      Because of the mess you made, she has to vacuum everything for you, lazy bastard.

      Also because she has mass.

    People talked about this a lot when it first happened. This is over 7 years old now. Kinda old news.

      yeah, i think for people who even have a passing interest in science this was a pretty popular topic.

      Now compare that to the age of the black hole.

      Yeah, a couple of years ago.

      Does OP expect things to stay relevant for that long? In this economy?

    Don’t worry, some of us are keeping the astronomy spirit alive in the younger generation. There’s a 5 year old kid I work with who can name tons of celestial objects that my coworkers have never heard of. It makes for fun inside jokes. Sometimes when we’re with another person, he’ll compare our distances to each other and say, “You’re Alpha Centauri A, I’m Alpha Centauri B, and he/she’s Proxima Centauri.”

    Do you have proof humanity on earth was the first one to take a photograph?

    Also how does the black hole know? Did you send them a message? Is the message already there yet?

    Trying to suck all the air out of the room as usual.

    (Does that count as a photograph, though …)
