This Might Explain Isiah Thomas' Reign of Terror with the Knicks

As the Lord of Truth notes, this means the Mets and Rangers aren't the only things that suck in New York...

A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the characteristics of a black hole, a physicist has said.

It was generated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York, US, which smashes beams of gold nuclei together at near light speeds.

Horatiu Nastase says his calculations show that the core of the fireball has a striking similarity to a black hole.

His work has been published on the pre-print website arxiv.org and is reported in New Scientist magazine.
You know all those physics classes you found boring? If you'd have listened, you could have a job creating black holes. What a shame.
