1
There's a big dirty secret about black holes.
2
Contrary to widespread belief, the singularity of a black hole is not really at its center.
3
No, it's in the future of whatever crosses the horizon.
4
Black holes warp the universe so drastically that at the event horizon, space and time switch their roles.
5
Once you cross it, falling towards the center means going towards the future.
6
That's why you can't escape.
7
Stopping your fall and turning back would be just as impossible as stopping time and traveling to the past.
8
So the singularity is actually in your future, not in front of you.
9
And just like you can't see your own future, you won't see the singularity until you hit it.
10
But you also can't hit something that's in your future, only sort of experience it, like you'll experience your next birthday when it happens.
11
Singularities that are in the future are not a problem because we can't see them or interact with them.
12
But a naked singularity would be in front of us for all of us to see.
13
What would we see?
14
Well, the whole point is that it's impossible to know.
15
A singularity is a region of infinite gravity, and gravity is the bending of space-time.
16
At a singularity, the bending is so radical that the fabric of space-time is literally broken.
17
Space and time don't exist anymore.
18
This means that you can't predict anything, since predicting means making a forecast about where and when something will happen.
19
But where and when have lost their meaning.
20
So we have an unpredictable thing with infinite gravity and therefore infinite energy.
21
This means that anything could come out of it for no reason, from a pile of bananas to lost socks or a solar system.
22
Predictability, causality and physics as we know it would break down.
23
We think that singularities should exist in nature because we can prove
24
that under very general conditions gravitational collapse leads to the formation of singularities.
25
However, scientists think that nature forbids the formation of naked singularities.
26
Something enforces the creation of an event horizon around them to prevent their insanity from infecting the rest of the universe.
27
Without event horizons, physics may not make sense at all.
28
So although black holes have been portrayed as the ultimate monsters of the universe, they may actually be the heroes that keep us safe from the madness of singularities.
29
So if we do destroy the horizon, we might destroy the fundamental rules of the universe.
30
You know what?
31
Let's not do that.

注意したい発音

話し手はcan't, don't, won'tなど、短縮形や弱形を8回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 長い単語（アクセントの位置に注意）: singularity /ˌsɪŋɡjəˈlæɹətɪ/, causality /kɔˈzæl.ɪ.tɪ/, gravitational /ˌɡɹævɪˈteɪʃənəl/, predictability /pɹəˌdɪktəˈbɪlɪti/, insanity /ɪnˈsænɪti/

日本語話者が苦手な音：

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: singularity /ˌsɪŋɡjəˈlæɹətɪ/, gravitational /ˌɡɹævɪˈteɪʃənəl/, predictability /pɹəˌdɪktəˈbɪlɪti/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: infect /ɪnˈfɛkt/, forbid /fɚˈbɪd/, enforce /ɪnˈfoɹs/, fabric /ˈfæb.ɹɪk/, forecast /ˈfɔːkɑːst/
  • 子音の連続 — 間に母音を入れない: singularity /ˌsɪŋɡjəˈlæɹətɪ/, predict /pɹɪˈdɪkt/, gravitational /ˌɡɹævɪˈteɪʃənəl/, infect /ɪnˈfɛkt/, predictability /pɹəˌdɪktəˈbɪlɪti/

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
