מהגותו של ג'ורג' מרטין
אהבתי את מבטו של ג'ורג' על חורים שחורים וסוף העולם. הקטע האהוב עלי היה: The girl who stood naked in the doorway of her dorm room felt a warmth come over her like she had not known during that long ordeal of a summer. She knew now that, whatever her plans might have been, plans that were continually thwarted, leaving her naked and alone, her heart had only one goal: to be once again here in this room, surrounded by the love of her friends. וכמובן הקטע: The current hypothesis is that black holes form from the inward collapse of a neutron star. Based upon this premise, black holes are brought into being when a neutron star's mass exceeds a certain critical value. Even though there is not a universally accepted critical value, most technical sources indicate the critical value is greater than 3.2 solar masses. A neutron star is the apex on the celestial chain of evolution, and posses no less than 1.5 and no more than 3.2 solar masses. A star less than 1.5 solar masses is referred to as a white dwarf. Isaac Asimov noted that the failure of the nuclear force would result in a chain reaction, leaving nothing remaining to counteract gravitational forces and the neutron star would remain in an indefinite collapse, with it's volume steadily approaching zero and it's surface gravity nearing infinity.
