npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 (npub17sh…6e06) I'm more amazed by particle-antiparticle pairs spontaneously coming into existence—in a complete vacuum!!
Only to annihilate each other a fraction of an instant later. (This part isn't so amazing, sure.)
Unless they are near the edge of a blackhole, in which case one might escape and the other gobbled up, thereby causing the blackhole to slightly evaporate because the extra particle must come from somewhere, so let's debit the blackhole, it won't lodge a complaint. (Amazing again.)
