Exhaustion? For sure.

This is probably going to be awful, just warning you now. I am NOT in the afore-mentioned insightful stage of exhaustion. Just the "it's really hot and I'm hungry and it's 1:22 am and you should be sleeping and screw the serial comma who needs it anyway" stage.

So yeah, I'm really tired. And hungry. And I need to urinate like a pregnant Russian race-horse.

...........................................................................

So, that ellipsis (which was properly long as explained by Allie over at hyperboleandahalf) was to cover my trip to the loo. I feel better now. But it's still hot. Texas... ITS 1:30. STOP BEING [insert really hot number here].

Heh. Hot number. that's like... 96. Which is like Spiderman-kissing-while-laying-down. It's great. My fiancee and I do it. Wait... fiancee... I want the accent mark... fiancée. there. copied from Word. and now my font is all new and exciting. interesting note: Word, while it auto-corrects the word "fiancee" into "fiancée", does NOT apparently recognise "fiancée" as a word... word, Word. you're dumb.


Anyway.

This post needs a point.

There, now it has a point to something cool. I like it.

I need sleep...

Bye blog.

Imma hit Publish now.

Deep-Seated Intellectual Issues

I don't know about you lot, but in the wee hours of the morning, when I really should be sleeping but can't be bothered to drag my lazy carcass to somewhere comfortable, I am a decently productive thinker.

In fact, some of my 'best' ideas for things to ponder come to me in said early-morning situations. Example: It's hot. I go take a shower. I contemplate what would happen if you were to shoot a beam of light directly into the center of a black hole.

Lathering up is a good way to get the mental juices flowing.

Seemingly silly, right? Not really. Black holes accelerate things. Mass, mainly, but apparently also high-energy things, like light, that gain some mass when near a gravity well like that caused by a black hole. The speed of light is constant, so, it stands to reason, the acceleration of light (that is, the change in speed with direction of said light over time) could only happen with the second part: direction. The light bends toward the center of the black hole, so it is all okay.

Shampooing the very little amount of hair I have currently might help too. Massage my brain a little bit, maybe get some higher quality thinking done.

SO: What happens if you shoot the light directly into the middle of the black hole? The force is ONLY pulling the light forward. Well, direction can't change, now... and neither can velocity... then the only part left that can possibly be manipulated is time.

Thus, my conclusion to this train of thought, as I dry off and prepare to go about my day: Time would warp. Only possible explanation.
