Would it be correct, in any way, to say that wild animals are traumatized by their lives in the wild? For example, are prey animals 'traumatized' by predator attacks? Or does the concept of trauma not apply to wild animals at all? Does the answer change if we only talk about the other great apes?

If humanity somehow had access to a black hole (e.g. we could end physical probes there and back within [at least] one lifetime), what would we be able to learn by studying it? Would it help solve the problem of "quantum gravity", or would the inescapability of the event horizon prevent that?

[WP] He has our addresses, our wish-lists, and an army of drones. The usual guy is stuck in quarantine and the elves can't exactly work from home. It's looking like its finally time to make a lifelong dream come true; this year, Jeff Bezos is Santa Claus.
