"Quantum foam makes me roam."

Timeline, one of my favorite Micheal Crichton books.

Inexcusable! ;-)

I myself have thought about it constantly since an incredible analogy was first put out there several years ago; namely, that spacetime itself flows into black holes. And once it reaches the event horizon, it is flowing inward faster than the speed of light. That's why even light can't escape: the space in which it is embedded is flowing inward faster than c, while the best it can do is c outward. So it is carried in. Note this was only supposed to be an analogy to help you understand! Now it appears it may be something more than that.

Jeex. I bought 2 tubes of quantum foam from a bargain bin at HD 10 years ago. I put them in a storage bin. Gotta find that stuff. Any ideas what I should do if I find it? Been looking. Maybe it fell into one of those black holes that bedevil my supplies.

Quantum foam is caused by human use of fossil fuels.

Marco might be at the University of Gruningen, but he spends most of the day in Amsterdam at the pot cafes and peeking in the windows at the red light houses.

“Foam! Ya! Is foam!”

I’m going to get right on it and invent a new and improved Barbasol: The tiny black holes in it will suck the whiskers right off your face.

Black holes, the quantum foam space/time drain plug of the universe.

Why not.
