Description
The Child is the Father of the Man. - William Wordsworth ...the theory of black holes was developed before there was any indication from observations that they actually existed. I do not know of any other example in science where such a great extrapolation was successfully made solely on the basis of thought.It shows the remarkable power and depth of Einstein's theory.There is still much we don't know, such as what happens to objects and information that fall into a black hole.Do the reemerge elsewhere in the Universe, or in another universe? And can we warp space and time so much that one can travel back in time? Maybe someone will come back from the future and tell us. - Stephen Hawking FADE IN: The legend reads: OCTOBER 10th EXT. MANHATTAN BRIDGE - PREDAWN - 1969 Darkness.Headlights bounce off thick sheets of RAIN.6,500 gallon Esso OIL TRUCK barrels over wet studded pavement, heading towards Manhattan.It's going fast.Too fast. Up ahead...at the BASE OF THE BRIDGE: A large reflective sign - lit up by arc lights: MEN AT WORK. There are TWO WORK CREWS, several hundred feet apart. THE FIRST CREW is CON ED.A corrugated vacuum tube feeds into an open MANHOLE.A WORKER drops into the hole. THE SECOND CREW is CONSTRUCTION.They're at the apron of the bridge securing lumber supports for the roadbed. It's late and the men are tired.A mistake is made.A FORK LIFT loaded with LUMBER fails to negotiate a turn...whacks into an abutment... spilling its load onto the roadway.
