Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…

"Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." -Joseph Campbell One of the cardinal rules of a black hole is that anything that falls inside the event horizon -- that crosses that invisible boundary -- can never escape. That's because the escape velocity from inside the event horizon is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum, c, a speed that nothing in this…
