“Now, our Sun will not collapse to a black hole. It's actually not mass...” — Janna Levin Quote

“Now, our Sun will not collapse to a black hole. It's actually not massive enough.”

“Black holes can bang against space-time as mallets on a drum and have a very characteristic song.”

“I think there's a certain lyricism in the telling of a scientific story.”

“The daily calendar seemed, to me, like a kind of cartoon black hole, and you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know that that couldn't be sustained indefinitely. That's why I pulled the plug on that one after the '02 edition. Kind of a preemptive strike.”

“When I was four, I wrote a song about falling into a black hole.”

“When you fall into a black hole, everything that falls in after you over millions of years, as seen by you inside the black hole, comes pounding down on you in a fraction of a second, because of the enormous differences of time flow.”
