Vox and Alastor are the most dysfunctional couple in hell wtf

How do yall tolerate each other

"By feeding each other's egos with attention at least equivalent to the amount we tear each other down."

"So, that's the honest explanation? Neat. I wasn't sure, myself."

Happy 56th anniversary of the observation of pulsars!

On 28 November 1967, while a postgraduate student at Cambridge, Bell Burnell detected a "bit of scruff" on her chart-recorder papers that tracked across the sky with the stars. The signal had been visible in data taken in August, but as the papers had to be checked by hand, it took her three months to find it.[25] She established that the signal was pulsing with great regularity, at a rate of about one pulse every one and a third seconds. Temporarily dubbed "Little Green Man 1" (LGM-1) the source (now known as PSR B1919+21) was identified after several years as a rapidly rotating neutron star.

Could a white hole be a special type of result from a supernova when it exists near a black hole?

ChatGPT: Poe

The concept of a white hole is a hypothetical region of spacetime that is the reverse of a black hole. While a black hole is a region from which nothing, including light, can escape due to its intense gravitational pull, a white hole is a region into which nothing can enter. In other words, a white hole is a theoretical object that only allows matter and energy to flow outward.

Currently, there is no direct evidence for the existence of white holes in our universe, and they remain speculative in nature. While black holes are predicted by general relativity and have been indirectly observed through their gravitational effects, white holes are a less well-established concept.

That being said, if we consider the hypothetical scenario in which a white hole exists near a black hole, it would depend on the specific properties and interactions between these two objects. It is difficult to provide a definitive answer as this scenario lies within the realm of theoretical physics and is subject to speculation.

However, it is worth noting that black holes and white holes are typically discussed as separate entities in theoretical physics. Black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars, while white holes are often considered as a hypothetical consequence of certain solutions to Einstein's field equations. The concept of a white hole arising as a specific result of a supernova near a black hole is not a commonly proposed scenario in the scientific literature.

In summary, the existence and properties of white holes are still largely theoretical, and their interaction with black holes remains speculative. Further research and theoretical developments are necessary to explore these concepts in more detail."

Clearly this is a question that almost no one is able to answer. I call it the front lines of physics, because it seems the only valid answer is that we need to learn more, and observe more, we need to see for the first time a supernova near a black hole, probably in a quasar - could a supernova occur in a quasar? (note, a quasar is a disk of charged energy in close orbit around a black hole, quasars are thought to be the brightest objects in the sky, aside from supernovae themselves)

Could a supernova occur within a quasar?

ChatGPt: Poe

Quasars are extremely luminous and energetic objects located at the centers of galaxies. They are powered by the accretion of mass onto supermassive black holes. Supernovae, on the other hand, are stellar explosions that occur at the end of a massive star's life.

While it is theoretically possible for a supernova to occur within a quasar host galaxy, it is highly unlikely for a supernova to occur within the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole that powers the quasar. The intense gravitational forces near the black hole would disrupt the formation and stability of stars in its immediate vicinity, making it unlikely for a massive star to reach the end of its life and go supernova in such an environment.

However, it is worth noting that galaxies hosting quasars are typically active and dynamic environments. They can contain regions of star formation, where massive stars could be present. In these star-forming regions, it is possible for a supernova to occur. However, it would be at a considerable distance from the central supermassive black hole that powers the quasar.

In summary, while a supernova could occur within a galaxy hosting a quasar, it is highly unlikely for a supernova to occur in the immediate vicinity of the central supermassive black hole that powers the quasar. The extreme gravitational forces and disruptive nature of the black hole environment make it an inhospitable place for the formation and stability of stars.

Is it possible that the timeless and calm nature of white hole could create the eternal cosmic background radiation within another universe?

ChatGPT: Poe

The concept of white holes is still largely speculative and not well-established in current scientific understanding. However, if we consider the hypothetical scenario in which white holes exist and possess timeless and calm characteristics, it is difficult to directly link them to the creation of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) in another universe.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that permeates the entire observable universe. It is thought to be residual radiation from the early stages of the universe, specifically from a time known as recombination when the universe became transparent to photons.

The CMB is believed to have originated from a hot, dense, and highly energetic state known as the primordial plasma. As the universe expanded and cooled, the photons within this plasma gradually decoupled from the matter and started to travel freely, eventually becoming the CMB we observe today.

While white holes are often described as regions from which matter and energy can only flow outward, it is not clear how this property would directly lead to the creation of the CMB. The origin of the CMB is generally attributed to processes that occurred during the early stages of the universe's expansion, such as the recombination event mentioned earlier.

It is important to note that our understanding of the early universe and the mechanisms behind the CMB is based on the framework of the Big Bang theory and the physics of general relativity. White holes, as currently understood, do not have a well-developed theoretical foundation and are not included in our current understanding of the universe's evolution.

Overall, while it is intriguing to speculate about the potential connections between white holes and the cosmic microwave background radiation, it is currently beyond the scope of our scientific knowledge to establish a direct relationship between these concepts. Further theoretical advancements and empirical evidence would be required to explore such possibilities in detail.

Not me scrolling through the Conclave tag only to see no one talk about the deliberate positioning and framing of the women in this movie.

Pulling up this movie I completely expected to only encounter Sister Agnes as the one woman we see in the trailer, the conclave a space that has been kept from the female members of the church. Now, color me surprised when I started the movie and most of the establishing shots we got were focused on all the women working in the Vatican.

And it is such a deliberate choice, it does the film a disservice not to talk about it.

Because while Cardinal Lawrence is having his fifteenth breakdown during sequestering and Bellini finds the ambitious asshole within himself, Ray does all the leg work, and Bel---- we see the women work.

We see the kitchens, we see them cook, we see them stand aside. Most of the time when the Cardinals are conspiring it is the women who interrupt because they are busy working, walking, running errands.

And there is power in that.

I think it is very deliberate how often (and with such lingering gaze) the camera shows us the lives of the other half - partially to connect to the wider themes of the movie, on how Bellini asks for women to get more power but never thanks them, and how Benitez stumps them all by thanking the women preparing their meals when asked to say the prayer (considering his own probably tumultuous relationship to gender within the church).

But it also stands in direct opposition to a long tradition in story telling: servants don't exist. How often the heroes of a regency romance are "alone" because the two hand maidens and three maids don't really count.

Conclave doesn't do that.

It doesn't let us look away.

Between all the petty drama, the politics, and the real life consequences of the conclave, we never stop looking at the people doing all the work.

Yes, we follow the ups and downs of Lawrence and Co, but in doing so the movie reminds us again and again of the women working the kitchen.

And that was just such a powerful artistic choice in a movie about a famously misogynistic church... I loved it. And I had to talk about it.

Interesting! Al, whats your fav thing that Vox does with you?

-blue anon

"I suppose it would have to be the way he's so doting. Even aside from his delicious attention, he cares and worries. Most people wouldn't think to worry about me, considering I can take care of myself just fine. But Vox has always been one of the few who sees me for more than just my reputation and treats me accordingly. And while I should hate that, with Vox it feels quite nice."

I'm obsessed with characters we only hear about second or third hand, especially when those accounts are conflicting. No, you don't get to see them, but here's a warped mirror of what other people thought they were. Enjoy your contemplation of how being known is an act of translation and communicates only aspects of the self.
