Black Mesa and its beginnings

[general griffin]

Black Mesa has already started to be built. Go tho this thread and see.

dog?

...hah!

thats a cool article griffin

I just hope they dont accidentally suck the world into a mini black hole.

 

[general griffin]

Yeah

It seems quantum physicists are already looking to open up black holes into other dimensions.

Actually when anyone heres the word 'black hole' they think aggghhhh im gonna get sucked into one and die.

However a singularity is a point where matter and energy all equal zero. Meaning they are destroyed. This flies in the face of einstein who said that energy can only ever be changed in form and not destroyed.



So black holes open out into white holes (so current theory suggests). Portals into other dimensions are theoretiacally real guys. Maybe half life 2 isnt such a fiction after all.

This flies in the face of einstein who said that energy can only ever be changed in form and not destroyed.

When quantum physics seeks to explain the amount of energy stored in empty space the calculations yield incredibly high amounts of energy in every micron of empty space. This leads many theoretical physicists to the conclusion that there is an unknown error in the equations, but if the equations are correct this could account for the apparent law violation. It could simply be an exchange of energy.

Also… Einstein wasn’t the first to assert that energy can’t be created or destroyed. This is the first law of thermal dynamics. While many people have postulated this over the course of history, it was James Joule who is credited with first proving it expermentaly. A smart enough guy that we now messure engery in joules!

Man, I hate getting black holes. Then I gotta exfoliate and pop 'em out. And some of those ****ers get BIG. Ruining my cream and peaches complexion.

 

[qdave]

hmm, maybe those experiments will lead to some breakthroughs in physics

and it has nothing to do with black mesa too much hl you play

Creating a black hole does not mean that the gravitational field will get bigger, it will still have the same field as the original mass.

So for example if the sun's mass was compressed to a singularity, black hole, we would continue to orbit as normal (and in darkness).
So small black holes are created from small mass, they will have very small event horizons, so if one passes through your body, it will probably interact with just a few atoms (and mess up your DNA, causing cancer?).

You see whats happening is that there is a g-man and he has come back to this time from the future to sell a design of a game to valve to show us what will happen, and making sure we all know how to use a crowbar!

 

[Ennui]

er... what he said.

 

[heartcrab]

wow~ it's already happening!!!

 

[maxmon]

holy crap thats freaked up

Dude if the guys who are doing what black mesa is doing maybe what will happen is what happned at black mesa!!!! well if it freakin happens lets hope theres a Gold scientest of the name Gordon Freeman to save the world! :hmph:
