    space and time between the stationary and distant observer. The effect of spacetime curvature near a black hole is such that lightcones are tilted so that the future lightcones tip toward the black hole. At the surface of the black hole (the event horizon), all rays emitted fall into the black hole. And no rays from the past are received from the black hole. A particle passing into a black hole receives no information of what lies ahead, and reaches the singularity in a time t= Rs /c. To a distant

    light can escape its gravitational pull; this is what we call a black hole. There are three main parts of a black hole, the singularity, the event horizon, and the ergosphere. The singularity of a black hole is a place of infinite density and gravity, space-time curves boundlessly around this point and the laws of physics come to a halt. The event horizon is often called the point of no return. Once past this boundary of space-time, nothing can escape the gravity of the black hole. When a black

    Instead, she chooses to enlighten the reader on her view of dreams, an abstract concept that has no tangible outcome. In the opening paragraph, she compares a dream to a ship on a horizon, and states, “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time” (1). Capitalizing “Watcher” and “Time” gives the

    The water lapped against the side of the lifeboat and salt spray stung Pierce’s face. He wiped a ragged sleeve across his face and irritated eyes and squinted toward the horizon. In every direction the ocean stretched, blinding with sun-glare. I should have just sunk with the ship, he thought. Or just roll out of the boat now. Will starving to death be any better? Lifting the canteen to his lips, he poured warm water onto his parched tongue and then smacked out the very last drop. With a grimace

    Ever since I had surgery on my thigh all I could do was stay inside. The blank walls in the hospital has consumed me completely. All I wanted to do was spend a day at the beach like I used to. Looking at the ranges of blue spread out around the horizon. Saw water run against the sand, the salty air and brightly lit sun. An empty beach, the perfect time to enjoy the water under the sun. The ocean breeze which I haven’t felt in a long time could bring back the colors that I haven’t seen in a while

    Croatia. Summer 2015. I am sitting in the back of a stranger’s car on the way to a cemetery as a little girl in a yellow tutu reaches into her white sparkly purse on the seat between us and pulls out a seemingly endless group of bobble head pets. We don’t speak each other’s language so we communicate through hand signals while she tries to teach me the Croatian alphabet. She laughs at my funny pronunciation, and I smile at her enthusiasm for spelling every passing sign. I was traveling through Eastern
