Remember when we didn’t have the internet.
> 40 quintillion stellar-mass black holes are lurking in the universe... <
Dang it, I missed the mark again. Just the other day I told my mailman, “I think there are 35 quintillion stellar-mass black holes lurking in the universe.”
Now he’s going to think I’m an idiot.
Sorry, not really good at math. Still having trouble with Trillions as with Build Back Better.
These Guys probably work in the federal budget office and just do this shit over lunch hour…
The insane nihilism that infects science can hypothesize 40 quintillion black holes but try to tell us there’s hardly any planets that have life.
Estimate ≠ Study
40 billion is nothing to worry about ... oh wait. There’s 40 quintillion ... we’re doomed!
BHM!
Even if they are quintillions more massive than the sun...
Have a friend who rides the DC metro every day and he told me the same thing many years ago,,,
Overall number is almost meaningless as we will likely never get outside our galaxy. A more relevant exercise would estimate the number of these small black holes in the Milky Way.
I remember a episode of Star Trek where the Enterprise almost hit a black hole and flung the Enterprise back in time to 1968.
That’s quite a few. 40,000,000,000,000,000,000, approximately.
