Speaking of black holes, can anyone help me with this question. It seems
to me the ed tv coverage on black holes is saying that black holes DO emit
radiation. At the same time we are told that all mass-energy entering a
black hole "disappears". How are these two notions reconciled?

PS-Thanks for the discussion on the "carbon nanotube" name. It seems like
it refects a future expectation that these molecules will be manipulated
at the atomic (nano) level but that cannot be done yet.
PPS-Did you know that Extropians/Singularity got a page in last issue of
Wired? Or has that been mentioned?
