It is time for How FishPreferred Are You?
As you may know, Gantic will not be available to do his usual schtick this year, thus it falls to me to continue this weird tradition of quantifying your similitude to some vague standard through a series of convoluted and seemingly arbitrary tests.
Sign-up is open until 10 spots are filled, or until September 9, whichever is sooner. You may wager any number of Gantic Points you like, but they will be disregarded because Gantic Points have no relevance to this game.
Also, assuming your brain hasn't exploded already, I happened upon this video which has a significantly higher chance of exploding your brain, if you're interested. It's about quantum stuff, which might explain why that's the case... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqZHYo7ONs
@MattEmAngel - black hole doesn't appear or grow FishPreferred tells it here:
I don't recall specifying a timeframe for this gif. In any case, you can consider this thing to show four hypothetical sizes rather than something growing in real time.
So we have 4 different situations like 4 different galaxies, maybe there is a mistake just on 1 of them...
@Hardstrike There's only pure insanity left to discover here xD We told every possible mistake on thing 1 and nobody found it.
@Hardstrike It's also out of my area - at least I read alot about black holes instead of playing flash games xD I don't know about proceeding to the next round but I guess that FishPreferred would inform us about elimination in this round.
I think I found out what's wrong with thing 4: Black holes aren't shrinking this way that much. The truth is that rarefied particles of interstellar gas (and probably some other parts of interstellar cloud) and photons give black holes more energy than it loses as a result of Hawking's radiation. This is why in the end of the day black holes aren't shrinking, but they are growing.
The best part is - all according black holes is just a theory. We probably won't be able to reach them safely for thousands of years. Now we aren't even able to see them - as solids perfectly black they don't reflect any light, all we see are distorted views around black dots. It is even possible that they don't exist and something else than collapsed stars produce such a strong gravitation.
@Hardstrike I'm not planning on eliminating anyone in this round.

That's a valid point, but who is to say that there aren't energetic particles falling into it from somewhere outside the picture?
Is wrong on thing 4 that something that stays in the middle after matter and anti-matter particles annihilate? I'm pretty sure that there should be nothing left. Before I thought that's just 0 but maybe not.
Is the thing that is wrong that there is nothing wrong?
How would that be wrong? They all have something wrong. It's just a matter of how unintuitive their wrongness is.

1 Are they annihilating? I thought they were moving apart.
2 Particle-antiparticle collisions produce gamma rays if I'm not mistaken. Possibly something else, but definitely energetic photons.
I need to reread about Hawking's radiation then... It's theory from 70's so there are many different hypotheses made from that time and 1 is opposite to other (yeah I said already about 3 different hypotheses) So I'll keep with that with gamma rays... other said that collisions cause complete annihilation. 1 thing is certain - jets which emit gamma ray were observed in the space f.e. near black holes.
