2AM and all is well [lobster rings town crier bell - imaginary only - I am not completely #maddened]
I have for two hours being trying to format and install a #Polish #Linux (MX-Linux) on a flash USB drive. It ain't rocket science as NASA will tell you. Bravo them.
Successful? No!
Format went well (supposedly) But could not make my installed programs persistent on the drive. Do I crucify an #Easter Bunny. Pray to baby and arisen Jeezuz? Get some un earned sleep and dream of the #future?
Maybe I can just (symbolically) kick nazi nuts? Or do some social mediaing - well I am doing that to clear my frustrated #chakra.

Explanation:
How can we see what is invisible? Black holes are not easy to see in the dark cosmic night, but astronomers can find them by analyzing their gravitational effects on matter, light and spacetime. The featured image shows an illustration that combines a simulation of a black hole binary system in its final "death-dance" with an astrophotography image of the Tarantula Nebula in the background. Even though black holes don't emit light, they distort the path of light rays, acting like a gravitational lens. As a result, the nebula appears extremely distorted, forming Einstein rings and multiple images. Tarantula Nebula lies in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is one of the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, 160,000 light-years away. That is more than 1,000 times closer than any of the binary black hole mergers detected so far. We'll probably never detect a merger so close to home!

Often we seek to "cheat" relativity, but if we instead follow time dilation to its logical conclusion, the picture is unexpectedly...divine?
