Succeed and Soar’s first, the 2022 “Words” series explored phrases that could help appreciate and heal human experiences. The 2025 theme is astronomy.
Event Horizons border Black Holes. NASA describes them as an, “object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.” While the sun is about 864,000 million miles wide [109 Earths could line up across the center], the Milky Way galaxy, and others, have remnants of stars 100,000 to billions of times larger than the Sun. When huge stars collapse, they become “singularities,” Black Holes bordered by Event Horizons. Inside, time and space is different.
A rocket must fly at over 25,000 miles per hour to escape Earth’s gravity. Light travels at at 670,616, 629 miles per hour yet is not fast enough to escape Black Holes. Once crossing an Event Horizon, nothing returns. That boundary separates the known ways the universe works from what is not knowable.
Of Event Horizons, educator Patrick Overton said, “When you walk into the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.” Overton wrote Rebuilding the Front Porch of America
“Going into the unknown is how you expand what is known,” says Julien Smith, business management coach and author of My Morning Routine. Annette White, author of Bucket List Journeys adds, ““Each time you try something for the first time you grow—a little piece of fear is replaced with empowerment.”
The nearest Black Hole yet discovered is “1,560 light-years from Earth.” On Earth, Event Horizons are much closer.
