: Eh, it depends on your definition of "see". In
: the widest sense, I guess it just means something like
: "perceive the existence of, using your
: eyes," and in that sense you can see a black
: hole. I mean, we commonly speak of seeing other black
: objects, in spite of the fact that they don't produce
: any light which reaches our eyes either. You say,
: "Hey, I see a jet-black chair over there;"
: you don't usually say "Hey, I fail to see
: anything in a chair-shaped space over there;
: therefore, I infer the existence of a jet-black chair
: in that space." The absence of light is also
: visual information.
: Regardless, I don't think the end-game special effect is
: particularly good evidence for the Devoid being a
: singularity; there's just too many other things in
: nature--pulsars, white dwarfs, high-yield Covenant
: weapons, people shining flashlights through fog
: :-)--that produce a "glowing jet" effect.
: Not that Nick was suggesting it *was* persuasive
: evidence, of course; he was just using it as an
: inspiration. I suppose the main question w. respect to
: the Devoid's nature would be--if it doesn't seem to be
: sucking the entire Mythworld into itself, what
: characteristics of a black hole or singularity *does*
: the Devoid have, and do you want to call it a black
: hole or singularity at all?
: --SiliconDream
maybe it was just a big explosion due to the fact the the most powerful being in Mythworld's head was thrown in there...
