DAN MEYER specializes in the extremely dangerous and very narrow field of cutting edge innertainment - Sword Swallowing!
After working several years in the music industry in Nashville Tennessee, Stockholm Sweden, and London England, Meyer shifted his focus from music to variety entertainment as circus clown, juggler, stilt-walker, fire-eater, and eventually, the most dangerous of all performance arts - Sword Swallower!
After being amazed while watching fire-eaters and sword swallowers, first at circus sideshows while growing up as a child in Indiana, and later witnessing Indian fakirs while serving as a missionary in India, Meyer became passionate about learning the incredible feats himself.
Hearing from a sword swallower in 1998 that there were "less than a dozen sword swallowers left around the world" led Meyer on his quest to locate as many of the surviving sword swallowers as possible while mastering the 4,000-year-old art. After three years of research, study, and daily practice, Meyer taught himself to swallow solid steel swords while networking the remaining sword swallowers into the Sword Swallowers Association International.
Described as a "David Copperfield" who combines real feats with a powerful message instead of just tricks and illusions, Meyer eats fire and swallows solid steel swords, blades, sabers, bayonets, and other objects from 15 to 30 inches in length, and up to 15 swords at once!
Meyer's show features REAL feats combined with light comedy and audience participation with volunteers from the audience so everyone feels part of the show! Meyer performs extreme feats such as fire-eating, the human blockhead, and sword-swallowing in a professional family-oriented show that's educational, inspirational, motivational, and UNFORGETTABLE with just the right touch of comedy.
In 2007, Meyer swallowed a 30 inch sword while submerged underwater in a tank of sharks and stingrays for Ripley's Believe It or Not, a feat witnessed by over 40 million viewers on more than 400 TV stations around the world. The feat was immortalized in the Ripley's Believe It or Not book and cartoon syndicated in 43 countries, and in exhibits in several Ripley's Believe It or Not museums around the world.
In October 2007, Meyer was awarded the coveted Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine at Harvard University for his medical research paper "Sword Swallowing and its Side Effects" published worldwide in the prestigious British Medical Journal.
In 2008, Meyer wowed the judges on several episodes of NBC's hit reality show "America's Got Talent" where he advanced from auditions in Nashville to the Atlanta regionals, to the Top 50 in the Las Vegas Semi-Finals, and on to the live Finals in Los Angeles. He was also featured on The Today Show, Entertainment Tonight, and Jimmy Kimmel Live among other appearances.
In 2010, The History Channel's featured Meyer in their international documentary "Most Amazing SuperHuman on the Planet" for swallowing a RED-HOT sword heated to 1500 degrees!
A few weeks later, Meyer set 3 more Guinness World Records by swallowing swords UNDERWATER for Guinness World Record TV in Rome Italy. During filming, he punctured his esophagus, leaving him in the hospital for 10 days to recuperate.
As President of the Sword Swallowers Association Int'l, an avid historical researcher, collector of sword swallowing artifacts, and author of a year-long medical study published in the British Medical Journal that won him the 2007 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine at Harvard, Meyer is recognized as the world's leading expert on the ancient art of sword swallowing.
A multiple Guinness World Record holder, featured Ripley's Believe It or Not performer, and one of only a few dozen professional sword swallowers left performing around the world today, Meyer has been featured on programs such as CNN, MTV, ESPN, Daily Buzz, The Discovery Channel, Discovery Health Channel, Discovery Times Channel, Discovery Canada, Discovery International, Daily Planet, The Learning Channel, Documentary Channel, Travel Channel, History Channel, USA Network, Food Network, Armed Forces Network, Shocked and Amazed TV, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Guinness World Record TV, CNN Headline News, CNN Health, ABC News, CBS News, FOX News, NBC News, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, BBC, CBC, CMT, CTV, XLTV, NTV Russia, Univision, Telemundo, Superstation WGN, 48 Hours, 20/20, The Mancow Show, Rick and Bubba Show, Bob and Tom Show, Absolutely Alabama, Tennessee Crossroads, USA Today, Newsweek, New York Post, New York Times, Irish Times, London Times, British Medical Journal, Scientific American, Science Daily, Nature Magazine, National Geographic, Forbes Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Amusement Business, Road King Magazine, NADA Auto Exec Magazine, Christian Activities Magazine, The Lutheran, and hundreds of other radio, TV, magazine, and newspaper interviews around the world.
Meyer has performed on national tour with Brooks and Dunn's Neon Circus (Rascal Flatts, Trick Pony, Dwight Yoakum, Cletus T. Judd), on international tour with the award-winning Celtic pop/rock band Ceili Rain, opening for artists like Highway 101, Jeremy Camp, and DecembeRadio, at Ripley's Believe It or Not! and Guinness World Records attractions, and at corporate events, conventions, colleges, universities, science medical events, and other programs around the world.
Despite a close call resulting in a near-fatal injury while swallowing 5 swords at once, Meyer continues to amaze audiences with his skills. "I enjoy performing REAL feats that people think are impossible in order to demonstrate how incredible the human body really is…" Meyer explains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What kinds of swords do you swallow?
A. I swallow solid steel swords, blades, sabers, bayonets, rapiers, cutlasses, scissors, and other long, sharp and pointed objects between 15 and 30 inches long
1907 WWI bayonet
8 sided Middle Eastern sai
19" forceps, scissors
22" curved single-edged saber
24" double-edged Renaissance sword
24" basket hilted rapier
24" single-edged cutlass 1.5"-2" wide
24" curved Persian shamshir
24" serpentine Flamberge rapier
40" Scottish broadsword
The most swords I have publicly swallowed simultaneously was 7 swords at the same time on September 3, 2005. I successfully swallowed 8 swords at once in a private video shoot on January 2, 2006.
My sword collection currently numbers over 100 different swords, including a historical collection of swords that belonged to other sword swallowers, both past and present, from the early 1900s to date.
I am currently working on writing a book on the history of sword swallowing entitle "To The Hilt: The History of the Art of Sword Swallowing", and hope to one day open the Sword Swallower's Museum and Hall of Fame where I can display the swords, photos, costumes and props of sword swallowers of the past.
Q. Why do you swallow swords?
A. "My doctor said I needed more iron in my system, and this is the quickest way I know to get iron in my system..."
Seriously, when I heard from a sword swallower in 1998 there were "less than a dozen sword swallowers left around the world", I decided to take up sword swallowing, for a number of reasons:
Because sword swallowing is real, authentic, not fake - unlike magicians who do "tricks" or "illusions" to deceive their audiences, I enjoy performing juggling, stilt-walking, fire-eating, blockhead, and sword swallowing because they are REAL feats, not tricks or gimmicks.
* Because it is extremely DIFFICULT – Sword swallowing is one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life. It was a personal challenge that took over three years of dedication and perseverance before I finally managed to overcome the difficulties and swallow my first sword successfully. I like to demonstrate how incredibly awesome the human body is, and the extremes it can be pushed to if you just put your mind to it.
* Because it is extremely DANGEROUS – Sword swallowing is the deadliest of all performance arts. Because it is so extremely dangerous, the field of sword swallowing is made up of an extremely elite fraternity with very few living sword swallowers left actively performing the ancient art around the world today.
* Because it is a DYING ART – Since there are only a few traveling circuses and sideshows still touring today, there are only a few dozen full-time professional sword swallowers left actively performing sword swallowing around the world today. As one of the last in the great tradition of sword swallowers, my objective is to help preserve and promote the ancient art of sword swallowing.
Q. How did you learn to swallow a sword? Were your parents with the circus?
A. I had learned fire-eating in 1978, and had worked with small circuses as a circus clown and juggler in the late 70s and early 80s. I have been performing fire-eating and fire-breathing for over 25 years, and learned unicycle riding, elephant riding, stilt-walking, club juggling, and fire juggling along the way. In the 1990s I began researching and studying sword swallowing on my own. In 1998, while talking with a sword swallower, I heard that there were ". . .less than a dozen sword swallowers left in the world. . ." It was then and there that I became even more passionate and dedicated to learning and preserving the ancient art of sword swallowing.
It took several years of research and over three years of practice every day, 10 times a day, before I finally managed to successfully swallow my first solid steel sword. Reaserch shows that it can take some sword swallowers from 3 to 7 years to learn to swallow a sword, and some people NEVER manage to learn it, even with several years of training and practice.
Q. How do you swallow a sword?
A. Swallowing a sword is a matter of "mind over matter" in order to repress the involuntary reflexes in the human body.
In order to swallow a sword without hurting myself, I must relax my throat, repress the gag reflex, slide the blade over my tongue, flip back my epiglottis, slide the blade down my esophagus, repress the peristalysis reflex in the esophagus, slide the blide behind my pharynx, between my lungs, nudge aside the cardiac muscle of the heart, relax my esophageal sphincter, repress the retch reflex in the stomach, and insert the tip of the blade deep into the pit of my stomach.
Q. Isn't it dangerous? Have you ever injured yourself?
A. Yes, I have injured myself - I've cut myself a few times in the throat, and once in the stomach. One injury occurred on Friday, September 13th, 2002 while filming a TV commercial for the Armed Forces Network, which required me to do multiple swallows over a 10-hour day. My worst injury occurred while swallowing 5 swords at once at a restaurant on Friday, October 13th, 2005 when my stomach retched causing a perforation in my lower esophagus at the entrance to my stomach. This injury put me in the hospital and I couldn't swallow solid food for about 4 weeks.
Many other sword swallowers have died from injuries caused by perforation of the esophagus and stomach, from massive bleeding and infections such as peritonitis caused by cuts and punctures, from swords with burrs that snagged in the esophagus, and from neon tubes bursting inside of them. If you have an accident while sword swallowing, they can't just reach in and put a band-aid on it... Sword swallowing is EXTREMELY dangerous....
Q. How can I learn to swallow a sword to impress my friends?
A. DON'T! It is extremely dangerous and can kill you!

Blake Tollison Shelton (born June 18, 1976) is an American country music singer and television personality. In 2001, he made his debut with the single "Austin". The lead-off single from his self-titled debut album, "Austin" spent five weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The gold-certified debut album also produced two more Top 20 hits. Although the album was released on Giant Records Nashville, he was transferred to Warner Bros. Records Nashville after Giant closed in late 2001.
His second and third albums, 2003's The Dreamer and 2004's Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill, were each certified gold as well. His fourth album, Pure BS (2007), was re-issued in 2008 with a cover of Michael Bublé's pop hit "Home" as one of the bonus tracks. A fifth album, Startin' Fires, was released in November 2008. It was followed by the extended plays Hillbilly Bone and All About Tonight in 2010, and the albums Red River Blue in 2011 and Based on a True Story… in 2013. Overall, Blake Shelton has charted 24 country singles, including 15 Number Ones. He has been nominated four times for a Grammy Award.
Shelton is also known for his role as a judge on the televised singing competitions Nashville Star, Clash of the Choirs, and The Voice. He has been on The Voice since its inception. He is the husband of country singer Miranda Lambert.
Early life[edit]
Shelton was born in Ada, Oklahoma, to father Richard, a used car dealer, and mother Dorothy, a beauty salon owner. He began singing at an early age and by age 12 had learned to play guitar. By age 15, Shelton had written his first song. By age 16, Shelton had received a Denbo Diamond Award in his home state.[1] On November 13, 1990, his older brother Richie, who was 24 at the time, died in a car accident. He has an older sister, Endy. At age 17, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in pursuit of a singing career.
Musical career[edit]
2001–2006: Beginnings[edit]
After several years in Nashville, he signed to Giant Records in 2001. In 2001, he was slated to release a song entitled "I Wanna Talk About Me" as a single. Staff at the label considered the song unsuitable for a lead-off single, however, and the song was eventually recorded by Toby Keith, whose version was a number 1 single.[3]
Instead, Giant released "Austin" as Shelton's debut single. Shortly after its release, Giant Records was closed, and Shelton was transferred to parent company Warner Bros. Records. "Austin" went on to spend five weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. Warner released his self-titled debut album, which was produced by songwriter Bobby Braddock. It also produced the top 20 hits "All Over Me", which Shelton co-wrote with Earl Thomas Conley and Mike Pyle, and "Ol' Red". Although Shelton's rendition of "Ol' Red" was not a major radio hit, he considers it his signature song, and it has become popular in concert.[4] Blake Shelton received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies.[1]
Blake Shelton received a positive review from Maria Konicki Dinoia of Allmusic, who called "Austin" "tremendously imaginative" and praised Shelton for including songs written by Braddock and Conley.[5] Country Standard Time was less favorable, with Scott Homewood saying that it "album just smacks of being assembled with the intent on capturing the burgeoning alternative country market".[6]
Shelton's second album, The Dreamer, was first released on February 4, 2003, on Warner Bros. Records. Its lead-off single, "The Baby", reached Number One on the country charts, holding that position for three weeks. Although the second and third singles ("Heavy Liftin'" and "Playboys of the Southwestern World", respectively) only reached No.32 and No. 24, The Dreamer earned gold certification as well. He, along with Andy Griggs and Montgomery Gentry, sang guest vocals on Tracy Byrd's mid-2003 single "The Truth About Men". Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill was the title of Shelton's third studio album, released in 2004.[1] Its lead-off single, the Harley Allen co-write "When Somebody Knows You That Well", peaked at No.37 on the country charts, while the follow-up "Some Beach" became his third No.1 hit, holding that position for four weeks. It was followed by a cover of Conway Twitty's 1988 single "Goodbye Time".[7] Both this cover and its followup, "Nobody but Me", reached Top Ten for Shelton as well. As with his first two albums, Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill was certified gold. Accompanying the album's release was a video collection entitled Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill: A Video Collection.[1]
On December 18, 2005, several of Shelton's songs, including "Nobody but Me", appeared on the TV movie The Christmas Blessing, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Rebecca Gayheart, Angus T. Jones, and Rob Lowe. Shelton had a small role at the end of the movie, playing himself at a benefit concert, singing "Nobody but Me".
2006–2011: Pure BS and Startin' Fires[edit]
Shelton issued his fourth studio album, Pure BS, in early 2007.[1] Unlike with his first three albums, which were produced entirely by Bobby Braddock, Shelton worked with Braddock, Brent Rowan, and Paul Worley as producers for this album. Its first two singles—"Don't Make Me" and "The More I Drink"—were both Top 20 hits on the country charts, respectively reaching No.12 and No. 19. Also in late 2007, Shelton made appearances on television shows: first as a judge on the talent competition Nashville Star, and later on Clash of the Choirs.
Pure BS was re-released in 2008 with three bonus tracks, including a cover of Michael Bublé's hit single "Home". This cover, released in early 2008 as the album's third single, became his fourth No.1 hit in July.[8]
"Home" was followed in August 2008 by the single "She Wouldn't Be Gone", his 14th chart entry and his fifth No. 1 hit. It was the first time in his career that he had two consecutive Number Ones. "She Wouldn't Be Gone" is the lead-off to Shelton's fifth studio album, Startin' Fires, which has also produced the single "I'll Just Hold On." This album also includes "Bare Skin Rug," a duet with Lambert.[9] It was produced by Scott Hendricks, except for one track which was produced by Brent Rowan, and another ("I Don't Care", which carried over from Pure BS) was produced by Braddock.[10] After "I'll Just Hold On" fell off the chart in October 2009, Blake Shelton released a duet with Trace Adkins titled "Hillbilly Bone". It was the lead-off single on Shelton's EP, Hillbilly Bone, released on March 2, 2010 through Reprise Records Nashville. After "Hillbilly Bone" reached No.1 in February, came the August release of "All About Tonight", the lead-off single to his EP of the same name. In September, he released the second single from All About Tonight, "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking", his 18th single release. He released his first greatest hits album, Loaded: The Best of Blake Shelton in November 2010.
Shelton was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry during the September 28, 2010 "Country Comes Home" concert celebrating reopening of the Grand Ole Opry House after the Cumberland River flooded the Opry House in May 2010. The formal invitation was extended on his Twitter account and was announced by Opry star Trace Adkins.[11] He was formally inducted by Adkins at the Saturday, October 23, 2010 Opry performance. Shelton recorded the title track for the remake of Footloose released on October 14, 2011. Shelton appeared on the 44th Annual Country Music Awards on November 10, 2010 where he performed "All About Tonight" and won Male Vocalist of the Year.[12]
In 2011, Shelton started working as a judge/coach to singers on the NBC reality television series The Voice.[13]
2011–2012: Red River Blue and Cheers, It's Christmas[edit]
Blake Shelton released the album Red River Blue on July 12, 2011, led by the single, "Honey Bee". The song received 138,000 downloads in its first week and was certified gold in its seventh week, setting a new record for the fastest gold certification by a male country singer.[14] On June 13, 2011, in its tenth chart week, "Honey Bee" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, becoming his ninth No. 1 and his fastest-climbing. The album was expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with around 110,000 copies sold.[15] "God Gave Me You", a cover of a Dave Barnes song, was the album's second single; it also reached No. 1. "Drink On It", the fifth song on the album, hit No. 1 in April 2012, giving him his 11th No. 1 song. On April 30, 2012, Blake performed "Over" on the Semi-finals of the second season of The Voice. "Over" became Shelton's seventh consecutive No. 1. and his 12th No. 1 hit to date.
Blake Shelton is a coach on the NBC show The Voice. In season 1, his finalist Dia Frampton came in second. Frampton recorded a track with Shelton titled "I Will" on her album Red, released December 6, 2011. Shelton returned for a second season of the show with his finalist Jermaine Paul as the champion.[16] In season three of The Voice, Shelton's team member, Cassadee Pope, was declared the winner with other Team Blake contestant Terry McDermott finishing as runner-up.
Blake Shelton took the stage with Miranda Lambert at Super Bowl XLVI in February 2012 to open the event by singing a duet version of "America the Beautiful". It marked their first TV performance since their headlining nuptials in May 2011.
In October 2012, Shelton released his first Christmas album, Cheers, It's Christmas, which peaked at no. 1 and no. 2 respectively on Billboard's Top Holiday Albums and Top Country Albums charts.
Blake Shelton appears on fellow "Voice" coach Christina Aguilera's album Lotus on the song "Just a Fool".
2013: Based on a True Story…[edit]
At 12:02 a.m. on New Year's Day 2013, Shelton premiered a new single entitled "Sure Be Cool If You Did",[17] which was released to iTunes on January 8[18] and reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay chart in 2013. His eighth studio album, Based on a True Story…, was released on March 26, 2013 and debuted at No. 1 on the country chart and No. 3 on the all-genre chart by selling a career best nearly 200,000 copies.[19][20] The album's second single, "Boys 'Round Here" released to country radio in 2013 and also reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. The album's third single, "Mine Would Be You", was released to country radio on July 22, 2013 and reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in November 2013. "Mine Would Be You" became Shelton's 10th consecutive number one single, tying him with the record set by Brad Paisley in 2009.
Blake Shelton received the Gene Weed Special Achievement Award for his role as a coach on The Voice at the 48th Academy of Country Music Awards in 2013.
Shelton will support Based on a True Story… on his Ten Times Crazier Tour which began on July 19, 2013 and will end on October 5, 2013.[21]
On season four of The Voice, he became the winning coach for the third consecutive time with team members Danielle Bradbery as the winner and The Swon Brothers in third place.
Healing in the Heartland[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013) |
Blake Shelton and NBC put together the "Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert," which aired on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 that included some of Oklahoma's superstar talent, to raise money for the victims of the tornado of May 20, 2013. Shelton was joined on stage by Usher, one of his fellow judges on The Voice, to perform the song "Home", asking the audience, "Man, is there anyone in the world cooler than Usher?" and a list of performers: Oklahoma country music stars Miranda Lambert, Shelton's wife; Reba McEntire; Vince Gill; Luke Bryan; Joe Don Rooney, a Picher native with Rascal Flatts; and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic. After the massive storm ripped through the Moore, Oklahoma area on May 20, killing 24 people and leaving thousands of homes damaged, Shelton decided to use his voice—and his Rolodex of A-list music stars—to help raise money for relief and recovery efforts. The one-hour concert was aired live on NBC from Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. All proceeds benefit the United Way of Central Oklahoma's tornado relief fund. Healing in the Heartland raised over 6 million dollars for a local Oklahoma City chapter of the United Way.
Personal life[edit]
Shelton married long time girlfriend Kaynette Gern on November 17, 2003.[22] They divorced in 2006.
In 2005, Shelton met fellow country singer Miranda Lambert at the CMT's 100 Greatest Duets Concert.[23] Lambert also sang background vocals on his cover of Michael Bublé's song, "Home", which became a Number 1 single on the Hot Country Songs chart. On May 9, 2010, after dating for four years,[24] Shelton proposed to Miranda, after seeking (and receiving) her father's blessing.[24][25]
Shelton and Lambert were married on May 14, 2011, at Don Strange Ranch in Boerne, Texas.[24] 550 people were in attendance, including many celebrities, such as Reba McEntire, Cee Lo Green, Martina McBride, Kelly Clarkson, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelley, and the Bellamy Brothers. After the wedding, Shelton expressed his joy stating, "I wanted to be married to Miranda the day I proposed. Finally, it's official!"[26] Blake and Miranda reside in the small town of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, which is located in the Texoma area.
On January 17, 2012, Shelton's father, Dick, 71, died in Oklahoma, following a period of declining health.[27][28] Shelton's brother, Richie, died in 1990 when Blake was 14 years old. Blake and Lambert wrote about Richie in Lambert's song, "Over You." The song was named CMA Song of the Year for 2012. It was also named Single Record and Song of the Year at the 2013 Academy of Country Music awards.

Life and death of stars
Supermassive black holes Supermassive Black Holes
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the videos on massive stars and on black holes, we learned that if the remnant of a massive star is
- massive enough, the gravitational contraction, the gravitational force, will be stronger than even the
- electron degeneracy pressure, even stronger than the neutron degeneracy pressure,
- even stronger than the quark degeneracy pressure,
- and everything would collapse into a point.
- And we called these points "black holes".
- And we learned there is an event horizon around these black holes.
- And if anything gets closer or goes within the boundary of that event horizon,
- there is no way that it can ever escape from the black hole.
- All it can do is get closer and closer to the black hole.
- And that includes light, and that's why it's called a black hole.
- So, even though all of the mass is at the central point, this entire area,
- or the entire surface of the event horizon -- I'll do it in purple, although it's supposed to be black --
- This entire surface will appear black. It will emit no light.
- Now, these type of black holes that we described,
- we call those stellar black holes.
- And that is because they are formed from collapsing massive stars.
- And the largest stellar black holes that we have observed are on the order of 33 solar masses, give or take.
- So, very massive to begin with, lets just be clear.
- And this is what the remnant of the star has to be.
- So a lot more of the original star's mass might have been pushed off in supernovae (the plural of supernova).
- Now, there is another class of black holes here, and they are somewhat mysterious.
- They are called supermassive black holes.
- To some degree the word super isn't big enough.
- They are not just a little bit more massive than stellar black holes --
- they are a lot more massive.
- They are on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions
- of solar masses.
- A hundred thousand to billions of times the mass of our sun.
- And what's interesting about these, other than the fact that they're super-huge,
- is that there doesn't seem to be black holes in between.
- Or at least we haven't observed black holes in between.
- The largest stellar black hole is thirty-three solar masses.
- And then there are these supermassive black holes that we think exist.
- And we think they mainly exist in the centers of galaxies.
- And we think most, if not all, centers of galaxies
- actually have one of these supermassive black holes.
- But it's kind of an interesting question:
- If all black holes were formed from collapsing stars, wouldn't we see things in between?
- So one theory of how these really massive black holes form
- is that you have a regular stellar black hole
- in an area that has a lot of matter than can accrete around it,
- (So let's imagine you have a regular . . .
- So I'll draw the event horizon around it.
- The actual black hole's going to be in the center of that,
- or the mass of the black hole will be in the center of it.)
- And then over time you just have
- more and more mass just falling into this black hole.
- Just more and more stuff just keeps falling into this black hole,
- and then it just keeps growing.
- And so this could be a plausible reason . . .
- Or at least the mass in the center keeps growing,
- and so the event horizon will also keep growing in radius.
- Now, this is a plausible explanation based on our current understanding.
- But the reason why this one doesn't gel that well is
- if this was the explanation for supermassive black holes,
- you would expect to see more black holes in between --
- maybe black holes with a hundred solar masses, or a thousand solar masses, or ten thousand solar masses.
- But we're not seeing those right now;
- We just see the stellar black holes and we see the supermassive black holes.
- So another possible explanation --
- my inclination is leaning towards this one because it kind of explains the gap --
- is that these supermassive black holes
- actually formed shortly after the Big Bang, that these are primordial black holes.
- These started near the beginning of our universe.
- Now remember, what do you need to have a black hole?
- You need to have an amazingly dense amount of matter,
- or a dense amount of mass.
- If you have a lot of mass in a very small volume,
- then the gravitational pull will pull them closer and closer together,
- and they'll be able to overcome all of the
- electron degeneracy pressures, and the neutron degeneracy pressures, and the quark degeneracy pressures
- to really collapse into what we think is a single point.
- I want to be clear here too.
- We don't know it's single point;
- we've never gone into the center of a black hole.
- Just the mathmetics of the black hole --
- or at least as we understand it right now --
- have everything colliding into a single point where the math starts to break down.
- So we're really not sure
- what happens at that very small center point.
- But needless to say, it will be an unbelievably --
- maybe infinite, maybe almost infitely dense point in space
- or dense amount of matter.
- And the reason why I kind of favor this primordial black hole,
- and why this would make sense,
- is right after the formation of the universe,
- all the matter in the universe was in a much denser space
- because the universe was smaller.
- So let's say this is right after the Big Bang,
- some period of time after the big bang.
- Now, what we've talked about before when we talked about cosmic background radiation
- is at that point, the universe was relatively uniform.
- It was super, super dense, but it was relatively uniform.
- So in a universe like this,
- there's no reason why anything would collapse into black holes
- because if you look at a point here,
- sure, there's a ton of mass close to it, but it's very close to it in every direction.
- So it would be pulled . . .
- the gravitational force would be the same in every direction,
- if it was completely uniform.
- but if you go shortly after the Big Bang --
- maybe because of slight quantum fluctuaion effects --
- it becomes slightly non-uniform.
- So let's say it becomes slightly non-uniform.
- But it still is unbelievably dense.
- So let's say it looks something like this,
- where you have areas that are denser, but it's slightly non-uniform.
- But extremely dense.
- So here, all of a sudden, you have the type of densities
- necessary for a black hole,
- and where you have higher densities, where it's less uniform,
- here all of a sudden, you will have inward force.
- The gravitational pull from things outside of this area
- is going to be less than the gravitational pull towads those areas.
- And the more things get pulled towards it, the less uniform it's going to get.
- So you can imagine, in that primordial universe,
- very shortly after the Big Bang,
- when things were very dense and closely packed together,
- we may -- we may -- have had the conditions
- where these supermassive black holes could have formed,
- where you had so much mass in such a small volume,
- and it was just not-uniform enough so that you could have this snowballing effect,
- so that more and more mass would collect into these supermassive black holes
- that are hundreds of thousands to billions of times the mass of the sun.
- And -- this is the even more interesting part --
- those black holes would become the centers of future galaxies.
- So you have these black holes forming, these supermassive black holes forming.
- And not everything would go into a black hole;
- only if it didn't have a lot of angular velocity, it might go into the black hole.
- But if it's going past it fast enough,
- it'll just start going in orbit around the black hole.
- And so you can imagine that this is how the early galaxies,
- or even our galaxy formed.
- And so you might be wondering,
- "Well, what about the black hole at the center of the Milky Way?"
- We think there is one.
- We think there is one because we've observed stars orbiting very quickly
- around something at the center of our Milky Way.
- And the only plausible explanation
- for things orbitting so quickly around something
- is that it has to have a density of either a black hole,
- or something that will eventually turn into a black hole.
- And when you do the math,
- for the middle of our Galaxy, the center of the Milky Way,
- our supermassive black hole is on the order of four million times the mass
- of the sun.
- So hopefully that give you a little food for thought.
- There aren't just only stellar collapsed black holes.
- Or maybe there are,
- and maybe they somehow grow into supermassive black holes,
- and everything in between we just can't observe.
- Or that they really are a different class of black holes.
- They're actually formed different ways.
- Maybe they formed near the beginning of the actual universe.
- When the density of things was a little un-uniform,
- things condensed into each other.
- And what we're going to talk about in the next video is
- how these supermassive black holes could help generate
- unbelievable sources of radiation,
- even though the black holes themselves aren't emitting them.
- And those are going to be quasars.

Groupon shares jump 20 percent on record quarter, new CEO
Groupon shares rose more than 20 percent Wednesday as the daily-deals site reported a record quarter and named a new chief executive officer.
The company on Wednesday posted a better-than-expected 7.1 percent jump in revenue of $608.7 million and a smaller-than-projected net loss of $7.57 million, or 1 cent a share, compared with a year ago profit of $28.4 million, or 4 cents a share.
The troubled-daily deals provider also announced that cofounder Eric Lefkofsky, who had been serving as interim co-chief executive officer since Andrew Mason's ouster in February, has been named the permanent … Read more

I'm probably just doing something totally wrong here, but I haven't gotten a single R3D file to open in anything. I've tried RedCine (goes to the opening screen and then vanishes with with an Apple error "The application RedCine quit unexpectedly") and RedAlert opens but vanishes when I select an R3D file from my hard drive.
Is there anything specific about where I place the R3d file to make it open? Is this a common error or has a codec on my system not been installed properly? I installed the FCS/Quicktime components and also Redline (I thought) but nothing seems to respond.

Posted: Jan 31, 2013 5:21 PM by The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge has ordered the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles to turn over 30,000 pages from the confidential files of priests accused of sex abuse without blacking out the names of top church officials who were responsible for handling their cases.
Judge Emilie Elias on Thursday ordered the nation's largest archdiocese to release the files by Feb. 22.
A record-breaking $660 million settlement with more than 500 victims in 2007 set the stage for the release of the files, but the archdiocese and individual priests fought for five years to keep them secret.
The Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times went to court in January because the church had blacked out the names of church leaders who made key decisions about sexually abusive priests.

Hey ADL
Any one know where to get a new rubber/elastic rope/strap for my rollers, it snapped.
What about Rubber Clark, will they have them?
Just thought Id ask before walking into a bicycle shop.
Any one out there buys Torq energy drinks online?
Are they good? Cheaper than Gatorade or Powerade from Supermarkets?
Penco energy drink, 700gm for $19.16
Proab best to stay with Powerade, Gatorade tubs at 500gm for $9 from Woolies.
Certainly the supermarkets seem cheaper.
If these extra expensive drinks work better I don't know I haven't seen the science.
Same, Havent seen the Science either.
It's probably that Powerade juice that is making you bust the roller straps on your trainer ? ! :-)
Team Sky Use Gatorade
The last few roller cables I have broken I have been able to pick replacements up at BE. The last time they had two different lengths in stock, even handier.
Thanks Gemma,
Did you mean BE is Bicycle Express?
Do you remember how much you paid for it? each.
Yep Bicycle Express. I cant remember off hand, under $20 I reckon though.
For the belt, try Adelaide Belt and Hose, Scotland Rd Mile End South. Meaure the length of the belt required (if it is not printed on it), and take the broken one with you. They should be able to look through their stock or order one for you.

Christopher Katongo is better than Lionel Messi. Messi is the best player in the world, that is undeniable, but he isn't entertaining to watch any more, his zig-zag, mechanical runs are inevitable, functional and boring. One of the players better to watch than him is, of course, Christopher Katongo, Zambia's fiery and lively captain and talisman in their Cup of Nations triumph, the official Player of the Tournament. Excitement-wise, Messi is Uncle Ben's basmati rice while Katongo is Tilda basmati rice with a bottle of Supermalt. But even when you analyse the core of them as footballing men, Katongo is clearly the better footballer:

Northern Michigan Wine: The singular music of cork popping from a bottle of bubbly stands alone in its ability to trigger our Pavlovian urge to party, and where better than right here in the North? Local vignerons have been perfecting the effervescent arts for over two decades, and our sparkling wine scene is diverse, dynamic and wholly delicious, harnessing a host of high acid varietals like riesling, pinot noir and vignoles. The bubbles in these wines are born from a second fermentation wherein yeast and sugar are added to still wine in tank (the cuve close or Charmat method) or in bottle (the méthode champenoise or traditional method), and the resultant CO2 stays trapped in the wine. Charmat wines tend to be primarily focused on the fruit, whereas the traditional method gives the wine more contact with yeast and lees allowing for complex flavor and texture along with finer bubble structure.
Blended from riesling, gewürztraminer, pinot gris and pinot noir grapes. Vinified in the Charmat method, Tire Swing spins off bright pear and golden apple flavors, finishing dry. biglittlewines.com.
Bel Lago brings together auxerrois and chardonnay for brightness and pinot noir for body and red fruit nuances. Pale pink with fresh strawberry overtones and persistent bubbles. bellago.com.
Fermented in the traditional Champagne method, this dry and heady vintage extra brut marries pinot meunier from Old Mission Peninsula with Leelanau County chardonnay. Mawby at his finest. lmawby.com.
Riesling brings bright, electric citrus and orchard fruit flavors to light up this sassy sparkler. A hint of residual sweetness begs for sushi or flan. shadylanecellars.com.
Honeycrisp apple, dried apricot and nuances of almond biscotti bound from the glass of this dry and racy bottle-fermented pinot grigio from Two Lads. 2lwinery.com.

Real Men Quilt!
Jacque and Linda winter in Florida, and summer in Maine. Sounds lovely, doesn't it? I would love to go to Maine some day...it sounds so peaceful!
I met Jacque through the net, and I have quilted a few quilts for him. He does spectacular work....all pieced by HAND! Amazingly even stitches, and his color sense is terrific! Just look at what he did for the border of this dresden plate:
His latest quilt is in shades of blues...I love this quilt!
I finished the quilting last night, and it was hard to get detail shots when it is dark out. The full quilt shot turned out really blurry so I hope you can see the detail from these other shots.
I especially like the texture of the back! Way to go Jacque,I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

OH MY GOSH Bonnie! The back of that blue quilt is SPECTACULAR! I absolutely love what you did! That is my kind of quilting. Nice and dense, and a beautiful pattern. And I love his dresden plate. I have to show my friend who loves dresden plate quilts this. I love the curved pieces with the pointy ones to give it a different shape!
ReplyDelete- Lynn Herrin8:24 PM EDT
These quilts are fabulous! I too, am a hand piecer, and I would love to chat with Jacque. Would you give him my email address if I sent it to you?
I know it's a hassle, but I've had to enable the word verification thing so that EVERYONE is eligible for blog giveaways. It's the only way to keep the spammers, scammers and other baddies at bay!

Quite certain that those that -- caviar don't send me.
But anyway boxer Hector macho Camacho was a legend indeed.
And out of the ring as well but.
He's remembered mostly for some of his big wins including this one where -- took down.
Boxing great Sugar Ray -- Defending sugar way that was a bit past his prime sadly too much it was taking.
Off life support died yesterday after being shot in his hometown of Puerto Rico he was.
Fifty years old and -- -- talk about the life and legacy of macho Camacho was on -- analyst for show box.
And boxing historian Steve Barbara good to see if Steve thanks for having me he was an -- in character -- in and out of the rings the flamboyant outfits and a showman an entertainer not just a good boxer.
Are you surprised the way -- sad story ended we should say drugs were found where he was shot he had some drug issues and some crime missions outside of the ring.
Yeah and unfortunately with some of our boxers who have and things like this and and unfortunately it's all too common there's a certain inevitability to it.
It's very sad but I can't say that anyone who knew Hector Camacho and follow it and I was there at his pro debut right down block.
Was that surprised by something like this -- Because even when he was starting as a boxer he was living on the edge.
There was always drug use there was always -- He was an entertainer -- didn't seem to be able to turn off.
You know that part of him when he was outside the ring and he had one good time great smile always and -- detain -- always a character but.
Didn't take care of himself and was set very self destructive.
The guy was a very good boxer for over three decades was even considering a fight coming back again next year -- -- fifty -- But I don't remember him as one of the all time greats myself I think of -- I think a lot of the others obviously they'll -- and others in that class.
Is he one of the true -- is -- a hall of Famer.
I think the reason he's not a hall of fame is because -- -- but because of expectations.
When he turned pro at the felt former Madison Square Garden anyone who was there said this is a special fighter he was exceptional in hand speed to match anybody.
He was a great credit for very short period of time but it was way too short period ended all changed for him in 1986 when he put -- -- or is -- L.
He got pounded that fight he won a close decision controversial decision but he got hit a lot that had never happened to him before and he lost his nerve to even though he fought.
How many more years 24 more years he was never the same fighter and he never really realized his potential the great fighters today still remain though no heavyweights right now.
It was there a lesson learned from guys like Pacquiao and Mayweather that they have been.
Had that sort of out of the ring trouble.
They have saved their money was there any legacy in terms of learning what he did wrong but fortunately no not boxing now.
Now it's the same mistakes have been made for our 12030.
-- -- Fighters who are ill equipped to handle the fame in the money suddenly are millionaires suddenly make the big dollars has -- much -- did.
And have no idea how to handle an end up squandering not just their money.
But often the talent so the one fight every one that loves boxing is waiting for Mayweather Pacquiao will ever happen.
-- they look like it the fact it's even still being talked about two with three years after should have happened.
He's amazing in itself but from -- historical perspective there's never been a fight that could generate this kind of income and we're talking about both fighters making.
Upwards of 6070 million dollars for one night's work.
It's never not happened this is the first time in boxing history that a fight of this magnitude has not been made.
It's miraculous does not get that fight to make it happen Steve -- check amount.
Follow him on Twitter.
Is we show blocks the -- -- -- CST thank you very much I Carolina.

Nice and light. Great service and trustworthy. I know I will be buying from Debby Burk Optical again.
Great glasses...great service!
I bought two pair and they were sent immediately. I think I got them in 2 days. Great service. Terrific product. My wife got the violet and the pictures don't do it justice. A much nicer, brighter color than pictured.
These are the most comfortable, lightess and wareable readers I've ever found.
I just received my order for two more pairs. Unfortunately, the left temple on the first pair I bought broke off as they were on my face. I had received so many compliments on them, though, that I replaced them fairly soon. I wish the blue color came in the strength I need (1.75)!

On an expedition into the loft I have found around 20 Iomega 100MB zip disks - all helpfully labelled with dates in 2002/3. Probably back-ups and I'd like to know what's one them before I junk them.
Now, I guess that somewhere in said loft is a zip drive - if I'm dead lucky, it might even be attached to a bootable PC. However, this involves work, and possibly a lot of it.
So... does anyone out there know of a USB Zip drive?

The Wonder of Fallingwater
"It's a building," my kids said.
"Yeah, I'll pass," my husband added.
None of my family members could understand why I was so excited to spend an afternoon touring a house in western Pennsylvania that no one had been vacant for forty years. Even I, a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, wasn't sure what to expect beyond an initial moment of awe upon seeing a home teetering on the edge of a waterfall.
The waterfall, as it turns out, was only a smart part of what made the former home of Pittsburgh department-store tycoons, the Kaufmann family, such a marvelous spectacle to explore.
Fallingwater was built for the Kaufmanns in the 1930s as an escape from the dirt and noise of the Steel City. When they originally commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright for the project, the Kaufmanns assumed they were having a home built with a view of beautiful waterfalls. It wasn't until they saw the first sketches that they learned their home was to be built on top of the falls and into the surrounding mountainside.
A home teetering above rushing water is a sight to behold and an auditory wonder, no doubt. But the architectural genius is most evident inside the home where Wright's firm hand controlled precisely how his building would be enjoyed. He used tight corridors and narrow doorways to force relief and an outward facing perspective upon entering his rooms and built-in storage spaces to dictate a clutter-free living space. Wright envisioned a family living among nature, not just looking out at it through windows, and he created sweeping decks, wide angel windows, and a waterfall-level patio to accommodate this vision.
Self-guided ground tours of Fallingwater start at $8, although a $20 guided tour of the house and guest quarters offer much more information than what can be gathered with the naked eye. An in-depth tour is $65 per person and is the only tour option that permits photographs of the inside of the house. Reservations should be made several weeks in advance for any of the guided tours, especially during the fall months when the autumn leaves allow for breathtaking photographs of the area.
