Those who followed the thread closely may have noticed that someone asked
how a sound could originate in a black hole, from which nothing can escape.
(The black hole source had earlier been referenced out of context)

The answer to that question was in the body of the actualarticle from NPR
and so I posted that article, to answer that question, among other things,
as well as make the information available to those who may have missed the
link to the quote earlier, or not been able to access it directly.

Sorry if that offended you or any other self appointed jazz police.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
