Here is a little fact that even a lot of WW2 historians don't know:
[militaryhistorynow.com]\

TLr version: Joseph Goebbels decided to make a film that would rally people to help Nazi Germany become victorious. Shooting started in January of 1945. Shooting went on until April of 1945. Nazi Germany surrendered in May.

Can you imagine the sheer madness of such a thing? The nation was being bombed to rubble, and these filmmakers were running around, trying to make a propaganda film. And the final iron:every day the director would greet the cast with "Life is good, isn't it?" And they'd reply (with some degree of irony) "It sure is!"

Another interesting one: Black holes aren't completely black. They're thought to emit what is now called Hawking Radiation. This is seen as a faint glow at the edge (also known as the event horizon).
