Black holes emit radiation when they eat things. If they're eating a lot of stuff, like a star, they can actually push that thing away from the radiation pressure alone. The point where a black hole in this way can "starve" itself, is called the Eddington limit.

Pick a number between 1 and 100. Now tell it to me. You're right!

The moon is too small and too close to resemble the configuration seen in our Sol system. Other celestial movements suggest strongly that at the very least, Equestria is not in our quarter of the galaxy.

Both the Britannic and Olympic went on for service careers as hospital ships and transports in World War I. The Britannic hit a mine and sank in the Aegean sea in 1916, killing 30. The Olympic became known as "Old Reliable", and was retired in 1935 after suffering a minor collision with a ship called the Nantucket. All members of the Olympic class of ocean liners were noted for having poor steering characteristics, owing to their proportionately very small rudders.

The Karman Line is the international definition of the boundary between "space" and the "atmosphere". For Earth, the Karman Line is 100km altitude, or 328 084 ft. The Karman Line is defined as the point at which, if you were flying in an aircraft through the thinning atmosphere, you would need to be traveling faster than what's necessary to maintain a stable orbit, in order to maintain lift. Effectively the point where the difference between a plane and a satellite is moot. Theodore Karman figured it out in the 1950s, and his mathematical model which predicted that region of the sky stated that it was very near 100km. Standards International liked the concept but replied with "Let's just make it 100km and call it square." and Karman was like "Whatev." The US Air Force defines space as any altitude above 100 000ft. This is significantly less than the definition used everywhere else, but makes for a useful buzz-phrase when amateur balloonists and high performance military aircraft enter the region. The International Space Station and Space Shuttle operate at an altitude of roughly 400km, or 1.3 million ft. The highest commercial aircraft go is roughly 40 000 ft.

As a Christian, this test is confusing and stupid.

Astronaut space suits have cooling systems that only work in vacuums. If they were in a pressurized environment like in an atmosphere, they would clog up with ice and slowly overheat the suit.

Only recurring male pony character. My suspicion is that most shippers don't want to concern themselves with interspecies complexities-- not that it stops them from fantasizing about equines for some bizarre reason all the while.

Brad was the nickname given to Flash Sentry in live stream chats of the premiere of the first Equestria Girls movie, when he made his first appearance ever as a human. To some, the connection was not immediately apparent, since Flash Sentry was already named as a pony earlier in the movie. The name has stuck in the weird way memes do. The internet is a strange place. Big Macintosh is the most frequently seen male pony character. Inferences (usually lewd in nature) are drawn from his name and physical stature coupled with sexual fantasies, the predominance of female characters in the show's environs, or both. He was also the only recurring male pony character in Season 1 with a speaking role. Braeburn was a one-off but his appearance was memorable, so bronies with a jones for homosexual fantasies are what made Big Mac-Braeburn take off. The inertial of popularity of these things are what's carried the image ever since. FlutterMac exists because through Season 1 and 2, people assumed Big Macintosh was quiet because he was shy, not unlike Fluttershy. Thus "Similar personalities" was the alleged case of many fan fictions therebetween. RainbowMac, TwiMac, and PinkieMac all exist for very vague reasons as well.(Read: those specific instances pictured, where they don't even talk to one another really.)

I go by the dimension called the "length" or "height"; the bounding box of a pony is roughly square, so 1 length = 1 height. 1 length of a pony is roughly half a meter, or 18 inches.

The philosophical origins of the My Little Pony universe is pretty sparse, if it exists at all. It's not like Arda of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth, which has its own creation myths in Tolkien's accidental analogy for God, "Ea". Depending upon who you ask, the My Little Pony universe generally has two-ish theories on where their world came from. The first is tongue-and-cheek reference to the existence of some ponified analog of Catholicism called Fausticism, wherein Lauren Faust would be considered a divine creator or something like that. This idea is very vague and often left un-detailed, presumably because the majority of fan-fiction authors who would ever try to concern themselves with such a thought are irreligious to some degree. (Hence it being more of a joke than a theory.) From which it would be easy to infer that "the Great Faust" created the MLP universe, and her "Pitch Bible" details many characteristics of why. The second is trying to tactfully address the meta-logic of how we think and think quite seriously about a cartoonish land of candy-colored mammals with physically impossible skulls and giant eyes. Often this is either cut short before it is explored in an interesting way, is poorly written, or is combined with a very unfortunate or denigrating outlook on existence (or some combination thereof) and ends up being some tone of thought very unlike the actual show's content. So it sooner or later comes right out that the MLP universe doesn't exist; it's just a figment of our imaginations. Third (usually never mentioned) is some presumption that the MLP universe by its own means either came into existence for no reason at all some time in the past, or has always existed. Those would be cosmogenies. If you meant talking about the ancient history of Equestria before "the Pre-Classical period", such as before Princess Celestia and Princess Luna ruled Equestria, you'd best brief yourself on the show from G1 and G2.

The Summer Sun Celebration is reportedly an annual event. The first Summer Sun Celebration spans S1E1 Friendship is Magic, part 1 and S1E2 " part 2. The second Summer Sun Celebration spans S4E25 Princess Twilight Sparkle, part 1 and S4E26 " part 2. This is underscored by being explicitly stated to be the first Summer Sun Celebration Princess Luna has partaken since she returned from the moon, confirming that exactly two Summer Sun Celebrations have occurred since the beginning of Friendship is Magic. Thus, somewhere in the neighborhood of two Equestrian years have passed since the beginning of G4. Further confirmation of this is the fact that the show has shown exactly two Nightmare Nights (S2E4 Luna Eclipsed; S5E21 Scare Master), two Grand Galloping Galas (S1E26 The Best Night Ever; S5E7 Make New Friends But Keep Discord) and two Apple Family Reunions (S1E1 Friendship is Magic, part 1; S3E8 Apple Family Reunion) The major desyncronizations with this theory are the fact that the annual date for the Summer Sun Celebration does not seem clear, and that the Apple Family Reunion date changes. The Reunion would make sense to have it take place in or before autumn, as it appears in Season 1, but in Season 3 we see it happening implicitly before Twilight becomes a princess. However these could be explained by those events being based upon celestial movements (like Easter - the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox) rather than strictly calendar dates (like Christmas - December 25th every year), so their calendar dates could move around.

=10*106*106*106*106*106*106*106*106*106 = 101+(6*9) = 1055 "particles". While I applaud your attempt at trying to convey the stupendousness of the universe, your number is less than half as large as it should be. The estimated mass of the universe is 1085 kilograms. If the entire universe was made only of protons (essentially hydrogen gas), this would mean there would be [1085*1000 (grams/kg) * 6.022*1023 (atoms per gram, according to Avogadro's number)] =~ 6.022*10111 protons. However, the universe is made of many kinds of particles, such as electrons and muons. Many of these particles we don't understand, so we can't really count them yet. In fact many kinds of particles we've never even seen before, such as virtual particles or whatever's responsible for dark energy. At least on the basis of electrons being very tiny and light compared to protons, the number of particles in the universe is probably a much larger number than the one I just gave.

Learning things is only as hard as you think it is. If you decide that it's not going to be a big deal, then it's not a big deal. I hated math in highschool and now I'm breezing through calculus on my way to becoming an engineer, and it simply came from the thought "do what you can with what you know, and if you get stuck, ask for help".

There's this little thing called a hammer. When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. And I'd nail 'im. Would you rather be traveling close to light speed but slightly less than lightspeed, or close to lightspeed but slightly faster than lightspeed?
