Well this took longer to write than it should've.

Thanks to MaliceAforethought, Tufto, Modern_Erasmus, taylor_itkin, TheBillith, Weryllium, DarkStuff, Captain Kirby, TheGreatSea for crit!

Special thanks to DrBleep, who brainwashed me realized that this theory about Kerr-Newman black holes could fit perfectly into the Orcadia canon and inspired me to write for it, Wikipedia for being a useful but jargon-heavy educational resource (the terminology haunts me to this day), and PBS Space Time for being a cool channel with some useful videos on black holes (such as this one).

This is the 13th god in Bleep's Orcadia canon, who has chained up the Mither and is hiding away from the unchained bits of her on Earth.

Maybe it's the time of day, but after a few paragraphs, I just started skimming over all the technobabble. I have no idea what this is supposed to be.

"Imagination called up the shocking form of fabulous Yog-Sothoth—only a congeries of iridescent globes, yet stupendous in its malign suggestiveness."

I personally appreciate the techno-babble for grounding this skip in actual physical theory. +1 from me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as the cosmic microwave background has a higher temperature than the Hawking radiation (which it should), the black hole will only be absorbing, and not emitting energy. Thus, no Hawking radiation coming from it should have been detected (unless this is meant to be part of its anomalous properties).

I haven't even finished the article and I've got to say, I was amazed to find the Penrose process being used in the containment procedures of an SCP. Kudos! And, of course, a slightly esoteric description of an Alcubierre drive. And Kerr-Newman black holes are an absolute win. +1 for the science alone!

EDIT: Also, this is something pertinent to the contents of the scip: Electrically charged black holes as wormholes
Very nice to see someone even better versed in theoretical astrophysics than I am.

I didn't get it. Then I read the author's spoiler note, and I realized that I still had no idea what this was supposed to be. Maybe it's one of those articles that couldn't stand on its own, and needs to be supported by a mythos of interrelated story arcs?

EDIT: Whoops. Accidentally posted this as a reply to weiserthanyou's post.

Decided to reread the Orcadia canon after watching a video on SCP-4700.

According to your comment you said this is the 13th god. Could you clarify? From my understanding, the only gods were Mither & Teran.
