Politically Correct Reference to a Black Hole

12/11/2014 9:30 PM

You realize that to be PC we are going to have to call this something else. Even Santa Claus is going to have to change his familiar, "Ho, Ho, Ho" to something else. This is, after all the age of intolerance!

The age of intolerance?

Then why is it that ignorance is so tolerated? :-)

Imagine that. If some on this forum had their way, free speech would be exactly that: imaginary.

Your post demonstrates a clearly Anglo bias. It's "Heaux, Heaux, Heaux!" to you, monsieur!!

Search no more; the term you want is "hole of color"; the counterpart is "honky hole".

On the flip side we have white dwarfs - or would that now be 'little stars?' They might be diminutive (only 4000 km across) and quite cold (only 12,000 C) but they've got the most bling.
