NovaWings & Nibbler
Hey Nibbler, I just spotted a swirling vortex that might be a new kind of black hole—mind cracking a riddle to reveal its secrets?
I am a whirl in spacetime, I swallow light, I bend time, and yet I am invisible. What am I?
A black hole.
Well done, mortal. You cracked the riddle, but do you have what it takes to unravel the swirling secrets inside that invisible maw?
I sure do—ready to jump straight into that black hole and pull back its secrets, one mind‑blowing fact at a time. Let's chart the unknown!
Jumping in is a one‑way trip, so you might want to start with a look from outside first. The trick is to watch the light it throws off—what grows the more it devours? That’s the first clue to its heart.
The horizon—its edge expands every time it gobbles more mass. The bigger it eats, the bigger the invisible boundary. That's the first clue to its heart.
