If you're waiting to exact revenge on your ancestors you time might just be coming! Scientists over at CERN have succeeded in creating a black hole here on Earth! 


Well, kinda. What they have managed to do is mimic the curvature of space time that exists around a black hole. This "black hole" which works for light of microwave frequencies mimics the the nature of black holes to trap light. 


A black hole is essentially a mass which is so large and condensed, and with such a large gravit...

wow! talk about a sensationalist headline.
