Black holes aren't like magnets
8 2 ReplyWhat about the comic made you think it was implying that?
4 1 ReplyI think they're implying that a black hole the mass of a person has the same gravitational attraction that the person had before collapsing (negligible).

Boy are you wrong
4 1 ReplyRight. Magnets only work on ferrous metals. Black holes will suck anything in, even light.
4 1 ReplySaying they suck things in isn't really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It's just gravity.
Also, magnets don't only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that's how we have electricity.

Neither is gravity. What's your fucking point?
