"Having mastered control over space-time, a super-civilization might want to fabricate their own black holes for a variety of tasks: waste disposal, starship propulsion, hyper-computing, maybe even time travel." —Discovery reports on the work of Clement Vidal of the Evolution, Complexity and Cognition group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, who posits that advanced civilizations of super-aliens have likely figured out ways to "tap the energy resources of an entire galaxy" and engineer the conditions of the universe to their liking. Of course, there are other uses for a homemade black hole.

A mysterious new celestial entity in the nearby galaxy of M82 is beaming radiowaves toward Earth unlike any others scientists have seen before. "The new object, which appeared in May 2009, has left us scratching our heads," said Tom Muxlow, of University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory. "We've never seen anything quite like this before." The scientists, who have been sitting on this information for almost a year, don't seem to be panicking, so I guess we shouldn't either.

"We may not be living in our universe at all; we might be living inside a rebounded black hole that exists in a different universe." -Indiana University's Nikodem Poplawski used a modified version of Einstein's general relativity equation to calculate something that doesn't make any sense and hurts my brain to think about. (Apparently it has to do with "singularities," which are not times when the computers will take over, but places where the density of matter reaches infinity. And maybe the portal from Donnie Darko? I don't know.) The video above is about black holes, too. And totally cool to watch.
