Is the Moon in Majora’s Mask a Black Hole?

www.pbs.org PBS Space Time | Is the Moon in Majora’s Mask a Black Hole? | Season 1 | Episode 8 | PBS

Is Link in Majora's Mask actually being overseen by a Black Hole (withteeth)?

I think I may roll with this headcanon from now on

PBS Spacetime was very different in its early days I guess!

- It’s still fantastic. But the tone was different.
  
  They pulled us in with the quirky, and tricked us into learning about space time curvature, spin, Higgs fields and tensors.
  
  The sly dogs.

  "Still fantastic," seems to imply that actual science is potentially less important on a science program and hosted on YouTube than some implied pseudo-science about a fantasy video game.
  
  I hate our time line.

I scrolled past, saw the text, and the reward circuits in my brain went "wait... thats spacetime's font!".

Crazy that this show has been going for 9 years. Video game tie-in's are fun, but it's just so much better now.

Watching the "does the universe create itself" video, shortly after playing The Outer Wilds just... broke me.

Literally mid-watch right now on the latest quantum gravity episode.

Cannot recommend this series enough if you have any science/physics interest

This was a really fun take. Even though it's ridiculous, it's fun to entertain theories like this!

I'll throw a wrench in the works for anyone who wants to theorycraft further: Say the rocks floating up aren't caused by gravity at all, but some other force. Maybe extreme winds caused by a massive celestial body approaching the planet's surface could be strong enough to create enough lift to make the rocks float. Kind of like the vortexes and turbulence you'd create in a pool of water by dropping a bowling ball into it. What sort of properties would the moon need to have for this to be the explanation for the floating rocks?
