  • As far as I understood it, yes, a black hole, or rather the event horizon around it, is perfectly round. The problem you describe is that you can’t see the black hole, as that is the whole point of why they are called black. What you can see though, is the light behind the hole that gets “blocked”, creating a seemingly literal black hole in space.

    But that is not the whole truth, because you do in fact see the light behind it. Since the gravity of the hole bends space time around it and you can indeed see the part that is behind it, albeit distorted around the event horizon. What you describe as changing view from up or down is indeed just the different view behind the hole, not the hole itself.








  • Yep, that was already stated by Nietzsche: (Paraphrased, not sure about the exact words)

    Careful what you portray to be, because act it too long and it becomes a part of you. But do not think that is only a negative thing. Every notion to be a better person is always a lie in the beginning, but can become a truth with time and expertise.
