Quotes About Black holes

Uniform Convergence & Associated Aracana item (d) for exceptional points, which again please recall can also be called 'discontinuities'. (N.B.: Some math classes also use singularity to mean exceptional point, which is both confusing and intriguing since the term also refers to Black Holes, which in a sense is what discontinuities are.)
~ David Foster Wallace
Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has proved that if two black holes unite, the surface area of the final black hole must exceed the sum of the surface areas of the initial black holes. For these reasons the total black-hole portion of the universe is ever increasing.
~ Unknown
I had never ironed anything in my life. The proper pressing of a shirt was a mystery of the universe akin to black holes and dark matter.
~ Lisa Kleypas
I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it.
~ Wesley Snipes
Why it is that of all the billions and billions of strange objects in the Cosmos-novas, quasars, pulsars, black holes-you are beyond doubt the strangest?
~ Walker Percy
Some parts of history, however, do not merely recede into history, but into oblivion, into historical knowledge vacuums and sometimes into black holes.
~ Unknown
My father, a closet astronomer, has tried to explain black holes to me, how they are so heavy they absorb everything, even light, right into their center. Moments like this are the same kind of vacuum; no matter what you cling to, you wind up being sucked in.
~ Jodi Picoult
Prior to then it was believed that black holes were just cosmic cookie monsters, swallowing everything that came within their gravitational clutches.
~ John D. Barrow
Evolutionary cosmology formulates theories in which a universe is capable of giving rise to and generating future universes out of itself, within black holes or whatever.
~ Robert Nozick
But it remains a fundamental challenge to understand the very beginning-this must await a 'final' theory, perhaps some variant of superstrings. Such a theory would signal the end of an intellectual quest that started with Newton, and continued through Maxwell, Einstein, and their successors. It would deepen our understanding of space, time, and the basic forces, as well as elucidating the ultra-early universe and the centres of black holes.
~ Martin Rees
The more powerful the power of thought, aphorism or idea, the more powerful the force of attraction it is capable of creating black holes of truth into which all matter goes
~ Unknown
The nervous system of philosophy fails, as in the neurons of philosophy, like the black holes of the cosmos, a quantum acceleration or deceleration of progress or regression.
~ Unknown
To my mind, Death should be followed by the annihilation of matter. That would be the best solution for the body. Like this, annihilated bodies would go straight back into the black holes whence they came. The Souls would travel at the speed of light into the light. If such a thing as the Soul exists.
~ Olga Tokarczuk
The future was as unfathomable as the black holes between the stars at night.
~ Penelope Williamson
