Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Nearly every mainstream animated feature (and just about every comic-book movie too) sets a tone and visual design that the audience plugs into; the movie, bold and shiny and clever as it may be, won’t deviate much from that. But the images in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” have an intoxicating unpredictability. The film makes you feel like you’re dropping through the floors of a modern art museum on acid, yet there’s a thrilling moment-to-moment logic to it all. The madly eclectic images express something — an eyeball-tickling explosion of quantum physics, or a subliminal nod to some comic-book style from decades ago that’s so retro it’s new, not to mention bedazzling. This feels like it could have been the first movie designed to earn a thumbs up from Andy Warhol and Stephen Hawking.

NASA says. Some black holes can be as small as an atom but contain the mass of a mountain, while others can be the size of our solar system but have a mass greater than 1 million suns.Sagittarius A, the black hole at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, is believed to have the mass of around 4 millions suns squeezed into one, but thankfully, NASA scientists do not believe Earth will be pulled into a black hole any time soon.But hypothetically speaking, what if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? What would happen? Would we be obliterated by gravity, or would we be transported to some kind of parallel universe?Not much is actually known about what goes on in a black hole except that all matter gets compressed to an indefinitely tiny point and all notions of space and time are broken.

Stephen Hawking, known to be one of the greatest geniuses of our time, warned us to be careful what we wished for in our quest to make contact with aliens.He said: “Meeting an advanced civilization could be like Native Americans encountering Columbus. That didn’t turn out so well.”But some sceptics argue that the reason why we haven’t found aliens yet is simply because they don’t exist, and even if they did, they might not be the intelligent beings we imagine them to be.If they do exist, they might be tiny, microscopic organisms floating around in alien oceans somewhere under the surface of a moon billions of light years away.Then again, there are also several fringe conspiracy theorists who believe everything about space is one big hoax and nothing exists beyond our planet and its immediate atmosphere.
