The Theory of the World

[Anti Hacker]

You're visualizing the black hole as invisible, but they aren't....They're black. If one passed infront of a telescope that was focused on a cluster of stars...you would see the bending light on the event horizon, and then literally, a black hole. As if someone cut out a hole in the sky, and that hole was black. =P

Ahhh touché! This is very true. Also, does a black hole look the same from every angle? I heard that whichever angle you observe a black hole from, it always looks like a hole. So you can't sort of view one side on. Makes sense, because as I said earlier, it's not actually a hole. It's more of a spherical dense-ness.

But still, wouldn't that be a good move to make?

Well, no.

Our planet is immune to the effects of solar winds most of the time, because of its' magnetic field(s). These fields reflect the charged particles, which make up the stellar winds (or solar winds if you want to be more specific to our sun).

Occasionally the solar winds will actually be stronger than usual, and will distort our ittle planets magnetic field! This is the cause of the aurora and geomagnetic storms (which actually wipe out computer systems temporarily).

So, whilst these winds are powerful, they're not an ideal power source being unpredictable, and actually damaging to human technology!

So if you could find a mechanism to "harness" the power of these winds and that also would not be wiped out by the very energy it was attempting to harness, then you might have something. But even so, it would only work in certain areas of our planet and not all of the time either!

So, you may want to think about placing these devices outside of our atmosphere. But then, how the heck do you get the energy back here? Okay so you fire them up there on rockets, and then they fall back down with the collected energy.

Problem now is, the energy taken to get into orbit, or to escape orbit, it vastly surpasses the energy you would gather...

See where this is going?
