Added 2 new A* pages:Bah, still just two today! Got too caught up in black hole math, initially trying to show how ridiculously powerful the fantasy "mass effect" technology in "Mass Effect 2" would have had to have been to keep the crew at their normal weight as close as they appeared to get to a certain notorious black hole: it would've had to have been able to nullify 650 g-forces, as it turns out! And then I went on to figure silly things like how far away from A* you could be to be getting the equivalent of Earth surface gravity from it (answer: a distance equivalent to Pluto's furthest distance from the Sun!), or how fast you'd have to be going to have a stable orbit around A* at a distance just above that of Mars' furthest orbit from the Sun (answer: 15% light speed!). So if you want to see a lot of nutty calculations like that about black holes, they're in this A* forum post!
Hopefully less math, more drawing tomorrow. Although having figured out some of this stuff will help me for hm episode 8 or 9, in a way.
