Don't know what a buzz word is. I am not that hip anymore. And yes most questions in any ask sub's are pulled out of thin air. Because that way people can gain knowledge. Even if it small amount at least they learned something.

    1. What is "a mobius strip of light"? I know what a mobius strip is, and I know what a photon is, but I don't understand how they relate to each other.

    2. The "event horzon" is, by definition, the boundary line from which nothing can escape. If something could escape from it, it wouldn't be the event horizon.

  • We don't know. The vast majority of our data on human health is collected at one G. We have a few decades of data from ISS missions at zero G, and have observed loss of muscle and bone density as two major concerns.

    We have a few weeks of data from the Apollo missions at one sixth G, but this insufficient to draw any long-term conclusions.

    A rotating space station would be very useful to study the longterm health effects of reduced (but not zero) gravity, as the speed of rotation could be adjusted to simulate lunar or martian gravity.

  • Not sure what you're asking. What's your source for the mass of the smallest black hole being that of a flea egg?

    As I understand it, the behaviour of very small black holes is not well understood, as we don't have any examples to study. They would presumably evaporate very quickly via Hawking radiation.
