5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT BLACK HOLES – Black holes were …

5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT BLACK HOLES

– Black holes were predicted by a soldier dying of agonising skin disease in a WWI field hospital but discovered by a …man who celebrated by buying his children knickerbocker glories in a Hastings’ beachfront café.

– If the Earth was a black hole, it would be the size of a Ferrero Rocher (mind you, it would be a very heavy Ferrero Rocher!).

– There is a “supermassive black hole” in the heart of every galaxy – with a mass of up to 50 billion times that of the Sun – and nobody has the slightest idea why.

– If you could hover on the outskirts of a black hole and look outwards, time would flow so slowly for you that you could watch the entire future history of the universe flash past your eyes like a movie in fast-forward.

– Black holes are not actually black! (they glow with “Hawking radiation”).

GUEST: FERYAL ÖZEL

Feryal Özel is a Turkish-American astrophysicist born in Istanbul. Currently a professor at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, she was one of the key scientists working on the globe-spanning Event Horizon Telescope, which created the first-ever image of a black hole in April 2019. She also helped create, in 2022, the first-ever image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way.

ABOUT: Mines’s a pint, Einstein – The Science Show

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get Einstein down the pub and ask him all the questions you’ve ever wanted to ask about life, the Universe and everything? Well, we can’t get Einstein but we can do the next best thing. On Mine’s A Pint, Einstein, we will interview some of the world’s front-rank scientists about the magic of science and give you the chance to post your own questions in the livestream chat for guests. Our host is the award-winning writer and broadcaster Marcus Chown. Formerly a radio astronomer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, he is the author of best-selling books such as Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You; Breakthrough and The Ascent of Gravity, which was The Sunday Times Science Book of the Year https://marcuschown.com/

SCOTONOMICS EP 47: TRUSSONOMICS with Duncan Weldon

Trussonomics comes to SCOTONOMICS Is doubling down on neoliberal …

Trussonomics comes to SCOTONOMICS

Is doubling down on neoliberal policies likely to generate an economic recovery?
Is growth still what we should be striving towards given the climate and biodiversity …crisis?
Is a progressive government in the UK a thing of the past?

We discuss Truss’s economic plans and her vision with Economist and Writer Duncan Weldon.
https://twitter.com/DuncanWeldon

Q: Now the curtains are drawn back we can now see what Trussonomics really is! Would you like to give us your take on what Trussonomics is?

Q: Will Truss be remembered similarly to Trump? Her only significant legislative success was a massive tax cut for corporations and high-income earners.

Q: Earlier this week you said that you expected that the budget may increase growth. Can you explain how that could happen and if, not that you have seen the budget, do you believe that this will still be the case?

Q: £45 billion of tax cuts is the biggest tax-cutting budget since 1972 and Barber’s “dash for growth” How did that work out? And can we expect a different outcome?

Q: Progressive tax policies – where the average tax burden increases with income – have been the mainstay of even right of centre governments since the 1950s. Did this end on Friday?

Q: Government money flushed into everyone’s pocket during the pandemic. Is this just the wealthiest in society making sure they get their increased share of that public money?

Q: MMT has shown that taxes do not pay for spending. I believe this understanding has allowed this type of budget to happen. Is it typical that the right jumps on a powerful truth before the left?

Q: The budget took place in an era of a rapidly overheating climate leading to the very real potential of societal collapse. In what way did the budget address those issues globally, nationally, and locally?

Q: There are already calls for the Scottish government to mirror the personal income tax cuts in Scotland. Could you explain the different fiscal position of the Scottish Government as a currency user that uses tax to fund expenditure and the UK Government as a currency user that does not fund expenditure with taxes?

Q: The pound fell today making imports more expensive and proving the impetus for more inflation. Can you why this happened and if you think this is likely to continue?

Q: Josh Ryan-Collins Associate Professor in Economics & Finance at UCL said today: “When you have high inflation, it is sensible to raise taxes on those who can most afford it to cool the economy” Do you agree? Is this what happened on Friday? And what will these policies do for inflation?

Q: What do you see as the main structural issues for the UK economy? And how do we solve them?

Q: When you see how out of step a budget like this is with a progressive view does the perspective of independence supporters in Scotland become clearer or sounder in judgment to you?[+] Show More
