Top 7 Most Terrifying Scientific Discoveries
6. Black Holes Suck
What is denser than the brainwashed backwater Russians who think NATO wanted to invade their crap-filled country? You guessed it: black holes! Now, unlike the said Russian, the black holes are a phenomenon that scientists can at least attempt to understand. In fact, Einstein’s theory of relativity predicted these monstrosities before anyone even got a glimpse of them. Which, technically, I should say the “absence of gleaming.” Either way, black holes are created when stars turn into supernovas and implode on themselves, thus becoming supermassive to the point where even light gets sucked into them. Our sun will also become an all-engulfing hole one day, but we still have time before that.
7. Radioactive Materials
Radiation is often called the unseen killer because without the proper technology, you can’t even tell if you’re being bombarded by billions of radioactive particles at any given moment. Remember the famous scientist Marie Curie? Her early research of potent radioactive materials was a real breakthrough, but it also spelled out her death. It turns out that x-rays and long-term exposure to radioactive materials are not very good for your health. But to top it off, even her cookbooks and newspapers that were casually lying on her desk in the 1890s are still considered dangerous and can only be handled when wearing special protective suits.
