Black Holes to Turn Green?
Can the Black Holes1 save us some green dollars?? The answer is yes. According to NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Black Holes are the most fuel efficient object in the Universe.
The coauthor, Christopher Reynolds states: If a car was as fuel-efficient as these black holes, it could theoretically travel over a billion miles on a gallon of gas. Head author Steve Allen quoted:
“Just as with cars, it’s critical to know the fuel efficiency of black holes. Without this information, we cannot figure out what is going on under the hood, so to speak, or what the engine can do.”
But according to Allen, despite the efficiency, the Black Holes take a long time to refuel.
