Talk:3072: Stargazing 4

Is it not possible and even likely, due to the simplistic nature of the dialog here, that the falling stars here in fact have nothing to do with black holes and merely refer to "falling stars"? 172.68.150.67 19:11, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

I think they have to do with stars falling in to the black hole. 172.69.17.125 00:53, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

First comic explanation I've done. This is... somewhat harder than what I expected. MinersHavenM43 (talk) 02:46, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

To be clear, the comic says grains of sand on Earth's *beaches* which presumably excludes deserts and such. I think another joke with that panel might be that Earth has more sand than just the beaches. 108.162.212.31 03:21, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Randal is rarely wrong. Have we seen TDEs (tidal disruption events) for Sag A* or only for other supermassive black holes? --172.70.242.247 07:44, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

I don't think the voice in the title text should be identified with Randall. Furthermore it is said that we haven't seen a star fall into a black hole, which is different from a TDE. --172.71.102.194 08:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Indeed we never saw a TDE for Sag A* provided context for that --Trimutius (talk) 11:13, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

In the last panel and title text, Megan states it's hilarious when "stars" fall into black holes, that they can't leave Yelp reviews, and that she has a list of stars she hopes are next to fall in. Is it possible she's now conflating Hollywood stars (movie/TV personalities) with the celestial bodies? Like she has a list of entertainment personalities she bears a grudge against and wishes they would leave the country (or universe)? 172.70.126.154 11:54, 5 April 2025 (UTC)Pat
