The black hole sucks up any light and so none comes to us to make a picture. ??

One of the books in the four-volume set "The World of Mathenatics" (ca. 1950's?) tells of a junior high school math class conjuring the number "google" as the number of raindrops falling on Brooklyn in an hour of steady rain, and a "googleplex" as a google raised to the google power. Mind: POW!

Well the physics WE know applies most places in the universe. But in an earlier life I went to some places where the physics is different and ours does not apply. Are we projections? No, WE are real, the entire universe is projection we have imagined.
