How to Search Your RSS News Feed Subscriptions in Google Reader

When a star implodes, a lot of mass collapses into a single spot. Mass, of course, bends time — a bit. Make the star massive enough — a billion times our sun —, and time bends unto itself in a loop.
Over millions of years, the imploded star will, through gravitation, eat surrounding matter like any good black hole. Gamma rays are the result — and some of them will get caught in the time loop around the massive core.
Going round and round in the time loop, the gamma rays travel further and further back until they reach the time when the star imploded. At that point, the rays leave the loop and the hole. From outside the loop, all rays reach the point at the same time, and we see a huge gamma ray burst.
In Google Reader, you can find your way a bit faster — and go back in time more easily, too (albeit in more mundane a manner; and there are no gamma ray bursts either):
