Can you buy a black hole?

Can you buy the naming rights, or the property rights, to a black hole? Seriously.

TIA

I would imagine you would have to contact the owner of said black hole and make them an offer.

Seriously, like the Name a Star scams, you can pay $40 to name a star after someone and have it listed in the International Star Registry, but that means jack sh-- to the scientists.

No. Nor any other astronomical body, in fact. Only the IAU has the authority to name celestial objects.

Yes, right HERE and for a mere 9.99!*

*Shipping costs not included

I can rent you one… send me the money and ask your friends. They’ll all agree your $$$ went into a black hole. :wink:

no, prostitution is illegal in the united states.

(I’m hilarious!)

And wrong. It is legal in certain counties in Nevada.

Of course, lots of black holes are available, particularly in real estate, where they are known as “fixer-uppers.”

And so far as time is concerned, well, SDMB registration is a mere $4.95…

No, but you can own a piece of Uranus.

There’s a joke in there somewhere…
