AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the disposal of materials used in experiments involving analogue black holes. A high school teacher was asked by a student how these materials are discarded after data collection. It was clarified that the primary components are helium and light, with the light being absorbed and the helium evaporating once refrigeration is turned off. The conversation highlights the practical aspects of handling materials in such experiments. Overall, the focus is on the simplicity of the disposal process in analogue black hole research.

TL;DR Summary
How are experimental apparatus and materials involved with analogue black holes disassembled and discarded?
Hi there, I'm a high school teacher and had a student stump me with a rather practical question. It concerns the analogue black holes I had read about in one of our universities, similar to this.

The student was simply curious how these materials are discarded after the data is recorded.

I had never thought about it, nor do I have the lab experience to know. I was hoping someone here might have some insights. The student realizes these analogues are not really like a real black hole, and are more of a model. Thanks.

Um, perhaps I should not reply since I have no idea what you are talking about, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Could you please post more information about this, and maybe a few pictures of how your student is using a mop to clean up a black hole in your lab? Thanks.

It is just helium and light. The light just gets absorbed and the helium evaporates after you turn off the refrigeration.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
