> Melanoheliophobia, which is fear of black holes

Thank you for mentioning this. I am an avid space nerd. One day I decided to try Space Engine, and one of the first thing I did was get warped to a black hole. Seeing a literal hole in space time appear in front of my screen was one of the most terrifying things I've experienced. I Alt-F4'd, and never opened that application again.

It's like every single atom, nay, every single subatomic carrier of information in my body was telling me to stay the hell away from that.
