I'm nearly certain this is something from http://www.mikebonnell.com
Awesome backgrounds...it would be in the abstract section. I can't seem to find the image, actually, but I'm like 90% sure it's from there, unless someone else makes very similar images.


No, this is wrong. That is a pic of a computer simulation of the electromagnetic fields of a black hole. I see that pic every day in the library of the physics institute that I study.

Really? Oh, ok, cool...I could have sworn I'd seen it before, but it must have just been a glitch. Electromagnetic fields of a black hole, huh? Awesome, can you attach some of those pics so we can see?

Hmm... *.bh = BlackHole? And I seem to remember a mailing from blackholeSPLATmetacortechs.com someone got a while ago...

So what is Black Hole Unable to do?

I converted the JPG to a bmp and made it my desktop.

Now that's interesting...

[spec]
It would lend further creedence to the idea that .bh is an AI... Perhaps bh was created to send/sort/answer/etc incoming MetaCortex e-mail, or maybe he just decided to "check out" the e-mail (hacking in).

AH! I just realized, if BH is "black hole" and "it" is an AI program, then obviously his quote

"Sorry, not able"

means exactly that... he's not able to go with the rest of the gang because he's just a program sitting on a computer, perhaps on a MetaCortex server. He's not a program in an Agent or Monitor sense, but simpy a MetaCortex program.

This is seeming like a distinct possibility at this point.

Maybe Black Hole's Function is to Delete things in the "simulation" that need to be deleted. but is working against the system now?

So he/she/it can not make it into the alternate space created by Collector.

My theory is that .bh doesn't even exist in "reality"... He's just a program in the sense that "WE" think of programs, but he's an AI program. Kind of like a really smart IRC/Chat bot. He's become self aware, and he knows he's not a "real live thing".

I'll go along with that...

If this is true, and assuming .bh is the hacker named 'leak', then the rest of the paintover team do not seem to be aware that Black Hole is a computer program unable to physically move (relatively speaking, of course, within the Matrix environment Wink ). Texel wrote: "leak, i am at a loss at your inability to come here.", which correlates with .bh's post. I don't know what this means for us, but it does certainly help to resolve some questions and hacker IDs.

 		This pic would be great for a T-shirt. Er, when you all get that T-shirt thing resolved that is.
sorry, not able

 		too bad.
It may or may not be copyrighted. Can not get a clear answer or a real answer. Just a shut down. So I am not even going to bother. I wasted too much time on them to bother again.

Does anyone know where this picture came from? I assume that it's available somewhere else, perhaps in a larger version?
