The Event Horizon (where it all gets interesting)

The problem with blogs (I have blogged a bit in the past) is where to begin, and how to go about it. Is it to be constructed in such a way as to be coherent to the masses, or is it to be understandable only to me. Should it be meaningful in order to attempt to benifit mankind, or should it be junkfood?

How to organize ones thoughts so it can be coherent TO ME? There's a great deal going on inside this head. It is really safe to let it all out? What's my culpability in the event people use what's here for evil?

I guess the best way is to just jump in.

I'm reasonably certain some of you (assuming people actually see and read this blog) are wondering: "Why the title?" I'll explain...

Event Horizon: The theoretical boundary surrounding a black hole, within which gravitational attraction is so great that nothing, not even radiation, can escape because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light.

A Schwarzschild Radius, also called gravitational radius, is the distance that defines the size at which a spherical astronomical object such as a star becomes a black hole. Nothing, not even a particle moving at the speed of light, can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole.

Therefore, the Schwarzschild radius is the largest radius that a body with a specific mass can have and still keep light from escaping. The formula for the Schwarzschild radius of a body is Rs = GM/c2, where Rs is the Schwarzschild radius of the body, G is a constant known as the universal constant of gravitation, M is the mass of the object, and c is the speed of light.

The Schwarzschild radius of a black hole marks its event horizon, or the boundary past which light can enter but not escape. Astronomers believe that once an object collapses to within its Schwarzschild radius, it continues collapsing until it becomes a singularity, or a point with infinite density and a radius of zero.

What exactly is my point?? Well, it is completely possible that you will be so pulled in to what is written here that you will be trapped and unable to get out. We shall see what happens.
