Why do today something that can be easily put off until tomorrow?

I would respond to that but I'm not in a hurry - later possibly.....

When a jobs not worth doing its not worth doing well

I've been planning to learn how to procrastinate effectively for years, but haven't got round to it yet.

To paraphrase Ken Dodd, "never put off until tomorrow, something you can do today. That way, if you enjoy it today, you can do it again tomorrow"

If something can wait until tomorrow   Is it worth doing at all?

But remember - tomorrow, today will be yesterday!

I'm not sure if you are quite right there,
you see Black Holes give off Hawking Radiation ( and thus evaporate) and so could be detected that way (they are slightly warm )

Well ... in addition to that, some of the current thinking goes along the lines of "matter may appear to enter a black hole - but it doesn't ... it permanently stays around the event horizon, which is why we can see polarised jets escaping from the poles" ... now, how accurate that is remains to be seen ...

Current speculation
Verily, there is much we do not yet know about black holes
Or it could be a traffic jam of infalling matter from the accretion disk causing the jets to 'whirlpool' out.

And I was expecting someone to say two things about my black hole detector
1) the Hawking Radiation is likely to be too weak to be detected within the quantum fluctuations and uncertainty of your hardware
2) dont need all that gubbins, just look for the strong gravitational field.

I have no answer to (1)
but (2) will become difficult the more massive the hole, when the Schwarzschild radius becomes large ( ie an event horizon tending to flat *)

Latest scientific research indicates the polarised jets consist of vapourized coupling springs and unidentified plastic detail parts which dropped off stock and you put somewhere "safe" until you find out what it belonged to.

Unless you try and be clever and look there first, in which case it will be in an indeterminate state until you have checked all the places you would have checked anyway.

Very clever, I like it !
