Laser light creates black holes in the lab

IMAGINE being able to peek inside a black hole and even perform experiments there. It may not be as far-fetched as it sounds, thanks to a team which claims to have simulated a black hole’s event horizon in the lab.

Interesting to say the least. Wondering what kind of discussion from the ATS inteligencia might ensue from this.

Okay... Most people... including myself would consider me to be a fairly intelligent person! I read that article, probably five times and all i can say is................ WHAT???

I don't get it, please help! Fast light catches slow light and can't pass through it... I get that, how is that a black hole and how does that teach us anything?

Am I just a Dee dee dee... or what?

I'm not sure if I am understanding it correctly but what I took from it was that they are not creating a black hole but they are able to mimic the event horizon of a black hole. They are then using the "event horizon" they create to study how a actual black holes event horizon would affect particles and waves.

It sounds more like a glitch in the system they were trying to use. Unless there's a video, it sounds more like a typical technical problem. Here's a site that refers to problems with laser optics and may be why some are now being cut due to their being outdated.

It might be more intersting if the reverse were true and that we could light travel by simply matching some carrying frequency similar to a black hole might do. How did Dr. Who do it?
