Looking into Nothing: The Paradox of the First Photo of a Black Hole

You can’t see
A demon


You can’t see
Its darkness,

Only the disruption
Of its event horizon…

Only the fiery rim
Of total destruction.

Wonderful. Glimpsing a black hole is exciting. But I suppose we are only seeing where a black hole is. So mind-expanding​ to ponder.

Thanks, Pryde. It's fascinating to stare into an abyss where everything is annihilated, but that rim of fire also reminds me of the gates of hell, and like hell, nothing ever escapes. It's a terrible fascination.

Super awesome and mysterious indeed
Be well

Black holes are just space demons.

Thank you for confirming this.
