Black holes and revelationsNot long after acquiring the power of speech the very young Custard looked up at his father, the source of all knowledge and authority with a troubled expression.
“Dad….”
“Yes son?”
“What are black holes?”
Not accustomed to being questioned on astrophysics by a toddler my dad was slightly taken aback. He quickly marshalled his thoughts and explained in as simple terms as possible about gravity and how some huge celestial objects had so much of it that nothing could escape their pull; not even light and that was why we called them black holes.
I listened attentively and then thought about this new information for some time. Processing. Cogitating.
He dared briefly to wonder as to how one raises, encourages and nurtures a gifted child and the responsibility this brings until I finally broke the silence.
“Dad….”
“Yes son?”
“Rabbits live in black holes don’t they?”
