“You are all wave particles when I close my eyes. I am no more entranced by your entanglement than a butterfly is to a bee.” -Solange nicole This past week at Starts With A Bang saw a flurry of activity, including a wonderful variety of new stories, like:
“We have to understand how we see the Hawking radiation sound waves falling in and coming out,” Steinhauer, who co-authored a study recently published in Nature Physics, told SYFY WIRE. “They should be very slight. Seeing this radiation from a real black hole is too weak and would be totally overpowered by other sources of radiation, which is why we want to see it in an analog system.” This black hole analog was more of a tube as opposed to the spectacular swirling things you might see in NASA images like the one above.
