Black holes aren't like magnets

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Right. Magnets only work on ferrous metals. Black holes will suck anything in, even light.

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Saying they suck things in isn't really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It's just gravity.

Also, magnets don't only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that's how we have electricity.

More accurately things fall into black holes, but we're just talking about a comic.

Boy are you wrong

[-] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

What about the comic made you think it was implying that?

[-] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 13 points 4 months ago

I think they're implying that a black hole the mass of a person has the same gravitational attraction that the person had before collapsing (negligible).

Neither is gravity. What's your fucking point?
