"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" isn’t just a tale of scrappy rebels fighting against an evil Empire. With the issues it raises, including device authentication, asset management, and privilege control, it’s also a story about information security. Well, more like a cautionary tale.

And the lesson to be learned here is: Don't encourage bad writers to make nonsense movies by paying to watch them.

Researchers have uncovered an advanced malware-based operation that siphoned more than 600 gigabytes from about 70 targets in a broad range of industries, including critical infrastructure, news media, and scientific research. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

I have no idea how you connected that quote to this article, but now I have another reason to unplug my microphone

Yeah, sometimes I type without a clue. I think it was implying that WWIII would be fought on the cyber.
Gotta stop Rum Mondays, I guess.

The rise of cloud computing has made enterprise software more accessible than ever before, but the quality of code and its ability to streamline daily business operations still falls short. Next report: Rise of 'low-code' development gives rise to need for more developers to fix 'low-code' solutions
EDIT - Sorry, looks like they pulled this article.

When three physicists first discovered through their calculations that a decaying atom moving through the vacuum experiences a friction-like force, they were highly suspicious. You mean all my under-graduate physics problems were lies?

Link Fail.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

So bits are falling off of a moving object, and they're surprised that it loses momentum?
What school did they study at? I'll put it on my blacklist for future generations of Wals.

But you might have to wait until 2018 to see what black holes actually look like. Are they using a really big flash?
|
|
|
|
|
Is that like a while back, when they were going to provide fantastic data about stuff falling into black holes?
Or like one of the other three-dozen times when they were going to produce incredible proof of black holes?
Give it a couple of months; nothing will come of it, and the claim will be erased from memory.

I'm just literally expecting this[^]...

I actually expect something more like this[^]
I know it has nothing to do with the film, but the point is... black hole is supposed to suck the light, but from a certain distance you can still see the light out of its gravity field
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If black holes existed, they'd more likely look like the brightest stars in the sky.

So why don't we call them bright holes?

Because people are so stuck on the idea "light can't escape" that they forget the laws of Physics.

I though "light can't escape" was a law of Physics.
Then again, I'm not a physicist
|
|
|
|

heh.
It's an idea, not a law.
It's an "Ooooh! Woon' it be kewl if....!" idea, at that.
If you want to write a story:
0. Start with a silly idea.
1. Work on the science to back it up.
If you want to describe the universe, skip step 0.

Only if (a) they had an accretion disk, or (b) they were so small that they were in the last stages of Hawking evaporation.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Is that also the reason why whirlpools and twisters are invisible?
A few million catastrophic events per second might just generate a teensy-weensy bit of light.
The only way for a black hole to be black is if it were to consume the entire universe.

A black hole in vacuum (no mass nearby) has a temperature that is inversely proportional to its mass. This means that any black hole of stellar mass will have a temperature so low that it will absorb energy from the Cosmic Background Radiation, rather than radiate it.
If the black hole has mass nearby, it will typically "swallow" some of this mass. As the mass approaches the black hole it will typically (according to our models) form into an accretion disk. Collisions in the accretion disk (and other events) will cause the temperature of the disk to rise, making it radiate in the electromagnetic spectrum.
As matter falls into the Event Horizon, it will also release gravitational waves. These are only detectable in catastrophic cases (such as the merger of two black holes).
A very small black hole will have a temperature above that of the background, and so will radiate. This will cause it to shrink further, raising its temperature and causing it to radiate even more. Eventually, it will disappear in a blast of radiation.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

A black hole will always have mass nearby; it's a basic effect of gravity -- and the more the gravity, the more the effect.
Whatever is nearby -- in orbit/flying past/almost sucked in, in decaying distended ellipses -- will not be treated very gently.
Compression/decompression of matter causes heat, and therefore light -- and that's not to mention the effects on smaller particles/radiation, or plasma states caused by high-velocity/high energy collisions.
Never focus entirely on one thing; look at everything that could be affected, too. You'll get less unsupportable concepts (and fewer bugs) that way.
