Trio win Nobel Physics Prize for black hole research

Well Dr Sheldon Cooper won in 2019 along with Dr Amy Farrah Fowler phd and I guess they couldn't win two years running but Super asymmetry was a great theory. Sarcasm.

@Peter14 They got lucky since the Russians had already discredited super-asymmetry based on the principle of Citation Negation. I suppose Dr. Campbell and Dr. Pemberton had a big role to play in proving that super-asymmetry holds true.

The question is what this bs ‘black hole research’ is good for, what problems here on Earth really can be solved. Not even one, not now, not later. The only idiots who profit from it and can pay their supermarket shoppings with that phantastic fairy tale telling are those three and entourage themselves. And they are even honored for that by even more stupid idiots and manage to cash in a remarkable additional money. This planet is becoming more and more crazy.

Sigh. If mankind wishes to perpetuate itself it must become a multi-planet species. As the Sun fuses it's store of hydrogen into helium it will gradually become hotter. In time it will heat Earth to the point all the water boils off. Eventually as most of the remaining hydrogen is consumed the Sun will exit the "main phase" it's in now and expand rapidly into a red giant with a diameter greater than the orbit of Earth and perhaps even greater than the orbit of Mars. All four inner planets will be vaporized. Mankind has to find other suitable planets to inhabit if it wishes to survive the end this one. The more we know about space and space travel the better.

Congratulations to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.
