Is it weird that i think blackholes are equivalent to gods?

In hindu scriptures, its said Shiva is the creator and destructor of worlds. If you think deep about it, Blackholes do just that. Galaxies are built and reformed around them, and they can destroy anything and everything if they wish. They are the most magical, unexplainable things of the universe. They bend time and space, it's the point of singularity and most believe including me that they are omniscient :3

Not at all. Always fancied Maa Kali as black hole. So many particles, matter, anti matter, dark matter, dark energy. Do share your thoughts and resources.The human forms are just for our understanding isnt it. After all, how do we even think in terms of experiences that are beyond.

I feel the same, now that I'm very much into the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, I'm starting to feel that all Hindu Gods and their representation have a very deep philosophical meaning, I also don't think there's anything like heaven or hell or even a creator who is sitting in the sky judging us. The moment we reach that higher state of consciousness, we precisely become That. As the Vedanta declares-

Finally they captured the first ever image of black hole

Not sure what is floating around online is the real picture of black hole or just an illustration

Technically, it's not a photograph.

What they have in the image is the silhouette of a black hole's event horizon. Inside of a black hole itself can't be seen.

They assembled data gathered by a collection of radio telescopes to produce the image. Then they color coded the image based on the intensity of radiation emitted from the source.

how do they figure out the event horizon is slightly over speculation.. M87 is too far so I take all this with some scepticism... and no all this has nothing to do with Hindu myth.. but you can keep driving similarity/parallels between these things. BH is just end of lifecycle for the star... there is no life form or governing form around it!Edited by qwertyesque - 5 years ago
