are they gonna be relly realistick or funny or scary?
i am asking this question becuse balck holes in spore look like spirels so kids can not be scared so are they gonna look like spore black holes
Thrive strives for realism, so most things will look realistic, and not like the ācuteā artstyle of Spore. (Though I must say, I wouldnāt really call a black hole āscary-lookingā)

Well, if there is an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_disk that is visible. Hereās an artist rendition as to what that could look like. If we could make them look the same in Thrive that would be awesome:

Well, Black holes are so massive that they distort light around it, so it would look more like this:

Please stop posting such scary images on the thrive forums. Think of the kids!
Edit: this is supposed to be sarcastic @cth2004

heres a cool video on this
If you think about it blackholes in their very nature are scary. In therory we could be sucked up by one that has gone undetected at any minute and never know. All of human history destroyed by a black hole. In theory never to be known ever existed.
I mean, considering we have our eyes on the cosmos 24/7, I doubt that a blackhole could sneak up on us at all, but I agree, it would be scary.
@Sentiant How is a red circle scary? Besides, as far as I can tell, most kids that are above 4 are playing fortnite, halo, and suchā¦
Besides, how is a black hole scary?
For the black hole images:
The other one looks scary
Also, itās not the size that distorts light, itās the mass! Itās mass is enough that it bends light, and the āevent horizonā isnāt the surface. ITās the point at which the escape velocity is greater than or equal to the speed of light, so nothing can escape!
So, that accurate image looks less scar then the ābluredā image
A black hole is actually infinitly small. That is the singulatity, the single most important part! (Itās a joke), the āsizeā (When people talk about the size of a black hole) is the event horizon, which as stated above is a point, not an object.
Iād put more, but this is probally already boring you! (If not, iāll reply with all other answers, including the ringularitys, ergosphere, and more)
@QuantumCrab for it sneaking up, your right, they would detect it. However, since it would be moving quickly, and it has so much mass (Itās massive (Ha Ha)), that we couldnāt stop it. so, weāll have warning, not that we can do muchā¦
But, due to other stars, if itās on a path to hit us, then itās garenteed to miss because other stars will move it! (Also, remember, we are seeing it as it was āxā years ago (x equals the number of lightyears it is when observed), so something moving fast enough could be detected multiple times at onceā¦
But, since itās pulled away, it should miss. So, be more worried about the ones heading in our general direction, but that will miss usā¦ by the time we know for a fact if it will hit us or not, itās too late. Itās at most 10 light years away, wich gives us what, 12-90 years to leaveā¦ way to late to stop it! SO much for the earthā¦ )

Youāre gonna be fun, I can already tell.
Well, you seem to be correcting me on stuff that I didnāt even say.
I said that blackholes were massive, and you then corrected me by saying that they were massive. You seem really disconnected from the conversation, bringing up points that were never brought up prior to it. Iām just extremely confused by your comment, hence me sarcastically stating that you are fun to talk to.
EDIT: Please disregard this message, Iām a rude butthead.
ahā¦ I see the misunderstanding.
Iām saying that while the mass is large, the size is infinitly small. If you where using the mass, my bad. (Most people use the event horizon, so I might have assumed). Basicly, the source of the mass is very small, so itās small. But, itās mass is extreme. THough, actually itās the density thatās extreme, since a stable black hole could have the mass of the moon, or lessā¦ but it wouldnāt form naturally.
So, I was saying that it is small size wise. If you where talking mass-wise, and since I wasā¦ my bad!

I see.
Sorry if I came off as rude, Iāve come down the flu and have got several assignments due, so I am evidently not in the best mood.
Welcome to the Thrive community by the way!
Thanks for welcoming me!
I can understand how the flu would make someone like that, then the stressā¦
So, no problem! It happens all the timeā¦
I, for one, have no problem!
Get better soon! (:
