Scientists Simulate Black Hole in Experiment!

Scientists have simulated a black hole event horizon by running light and infrared pulse waves directly at eachother through fiber optics. The light was then overcome by the infrared. They have not successfully tested their theories with dense objects, though they hope these new studies will help explain Hawking radiation and help physics develop a "theory of everything". It's complicated but interesting. Read it here.
