The chip to be inserted in the brain to offer anatomical, biological, and neurological statistics among other functions, had been a thought in Belinda’s head while she built her company. Her learned machines fared well with the experiment. This was after thousands of hours of practice and failure and restarting and finally getting it right. This took fifteen years. As the machines could check their own battery capacity and have in their wheelhouse data that would be able to be relayed back to humans at computers, Belinda rejoiced at the idea of her creations keeping them. Then, she felt the twinge of ideation. She wondered if these can be implanted in humans.

What if we fell into a black hole?
This imaginary interstellar journey takes us into the deepest mysteries of the universe. What is a black hole? To begin , a black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They form when massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel and collapse under their own weight. This implosion creates a singularity, an infinitely dense point where the laws of physics as we know them cease to work. Around this singularity lies the event horizon, the boundary beyond which return is impossible.
