Why does this forum have a swear filter?? It's a footy forum, and I learnt 99% of my swear words at the footy anyway.
These words are footy vernacular!

Depending on what you're actually asking, that's actually a pretty complicated question. If you want to get a bit of understanding, look up how neutron stars are formed. It's basically the same process, without all the singularities.How is it that a Black Hole can fit millions of cubic metres of mass into an area the size of a pin head ?
Essentially, the star that is going to go on to form the black hole is subject to its own gravity. The bigger/more massive the star is, the greater the force pulling it back in on itself is. Eventually you get to a point where it gets so massive that it starts to collapse in on itself. The thing about this is that it doesn't get less massive, it gets smaller. This means that the force of the "internal" gravity actually becomes greater, and it pulls itself in more.
So, basically, think of it like the most powerful trash compacter in the universe.
Man, you really are the physics nerd.
Thank you for your 2 responses.
what was it exactly that Meatloaf wouldn't do?
I know the territory, I've been around. It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down, and sooner or later, you'll be screwing around.
wouldn't the jet engines also stall because there wasn't enough gas getting into them. once you lose thrust lift also becomes an issue because less air is being pushed under the wing.The plane's wings need air to generate lift. The higher you go, the less dense the air becomes, the less lift is generated. Eventually you'll reach a point where the lift generated is less than the force of gravity pulling the plane back down.
What stops a Jet aeroplane which is ascending beyond 38,000 feet from leaving our atmosphere and entering space.
If a Pilot had completely lost his marbles, and attempted to continue climbing, what would happen ?
does the close door button inside lifts actually do anything?

Not sure "mutually exclusive" was explained correctly. The word "bigger" is not mutually exclusive of "exacerbate". In fact, the two are synonyms.
Examples of mutual exclusivity could be "Carlton" and "Premiership", or "women" and "logic", "men" and "multitask".
I never understood how the stock market works. Like what does a share price actually mean? If one company has shares for 75.40 and another for 9.40 which is worth a better investment? And what dictates shares going up or down?
I get how the market works, but what gets me is when one company reports a loss and its price goes up, and another reports a bigger than ever profit and its price goes down. It makes you think a lot of market analysts are gambling.
But in your example, the actual quantum of the price is not that relevant. It's the market capitalisation (price x number of shares) and it's the percentage increases or decreases.
Often, companies' share prices will go up so high that they'll think a lot of people will be put off from buying any, so they'll issue a lot more shares...say issuing a 4 for 1 rights issue means you have 5 times as many shares as before, so in the first instance the price will divide by 5 or thereabouts.
This. The share price is only important if you know how many shares are actually on offer. 1 dollar share price with a billion shares is a billion dollar company - 1 dollar share price with 1000 shares..
Also market cap doesnt take into account debt, so thats a trick.
How does the share market differ to the bond market?
Pretty sure the bond market is made up of various bodies (generally government, municipal or company) borrowing money and promising to pay regular interest payments on it...and redeem it at maturity.
The counter-intuitive thing is that if yields go up, then the price of the bond comes down and vice versa....because if the borrowing was done at 5% pa, but interest rates are now at 6%, you're not going to want to pay full price for the bond...you need to pay less than 100% of par.
Most investment in the bond market now seems to be in large volumes and betting on very small variances in yield rates...called arbitrage. You want to buy at one price and get out quickly when the yield movement is favourable to you. Problem is you can make a lot by leveraging, but equally, you can lose a lot too. It's a zero-sum game.
The old days when old fogies like me used to buy 6% NT Government bonds are over. I'd have to ask buggy why. Statutory bodies like Gas and Fuel, MMBW etc used to issue their own bonds to raise money. Still happens a lot in the US though it seems.
Interest rates and yields vary on economic data...or fear...or greed.
Thanks so much! I think that clears a fair bit of it up for me. Cheers.
Why did the dollar drop today when the market rebounded and why was it rising when the market tanked just recently????
Why do they always shave in the wrong direction in shaving product ads? Seriously. Just watching it gives me a rash.
In set theory and probability theory, they're sets with a null intersection.

When you’re at a restaurant and ask for the pay. They go get the bill and then walk off. Then they come back a few minutes later to collect your card. Then they come back later again for you to sign it.
Why can’t they just take your card when you ask to pay? Would be much more efficient way to do it.
