This community is inspired by this post on !showerthoughts@lemmy.world:
We really need a community where you can just post about anything that you’re really passionate about, which you’re currently researching/thinking about, sothat others can learn something about it as well and maybe discuss about it.
This showerthoughts community is a bit like it because you can just post whatever comes to your mind, but i’d like it to be more in-depth and with higher quality. Something like showerthoughts, but bathtubthoughts, i.e. when you’re soaking in a hot bathtub and thinking about stuff for 20 minutes or sth, and then post that. You know what i mean?

Hmm yeah you're right, it's not directly a nuclear process nor is it driven by cosmic expansion, but it's still somehow related to mechanical energy (i think), since basically black holes use their enormous gravitational force gradient to basically rip the vacuum apart and that way release energy. And gravitational energy is a kind of mechanical energy, i'd say.
