In 1972, physicists William Press and Saul Teukolsky described a theoretical phenomenon called a black hole bomb, in which mirrors enclose, reflect and exponentially amplify waves emanating from a rotating black hole.

Now, in a new study, physicists from the University of Southampton, the University of Glasgow, and the Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies at Italy's National Research Council experimentally verified the theoretical black hole bomb.

Thanks, Brooks. They were just sitting around down quantum nothing for 50 years. Now clealy someone went back in time and became obsessed with revenge and now we have a black hole bomb.

Great, job. I'll give you an E for Effort and a T for nice Try.
