Schwarze Löcher könnten eine der besten Laboratorien sein, um die Theorie der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie zu testen. In einem neuen Papier sagt der astrophysiker Cosimo Bambi, es sei Zeit, darüber nachzudenken, ein Raumschiff zu schicken, um einen zu studieren.

FYI: The nearest known black hole to Earth is called Gaia BH1, located approximately 1,560 light-years away.
We can’t even get a craft to 0.01c. but sure thing Cosmo, let’s just casually send a probe 2000LY.
I really wish we’d be at the point where we could plan science projects that will take a hundred years even in the best case scenario, but I don’t think we will ever reach that point. The way things are going, we’re lucky if we manage to take a picture of an exoplanet from orbit this millennium.
We should launch immediately. And there’s only one man qualified to lead the expedition … Capt. D.J. Trump.
Just came to comment that that has to be one of the coolest names for an astrophysicist to have in 2025.
I don’t know what the current status is, but this is why I really hope the „planet 9“ anomaly is a small black hole.
I think I remember seeing that a long ago close fly could explain most of the peculiar orbits of the extreme trans-Neptunian objects (boring) . But I’m still holding out hope for a black hole!
