Technology Fortnite’s black hole has closed, and Chapter 2 is finally here

For two years now, Fortnite’s ever-changing battle royale island has been a place where millions of people gather to play. Over that time it’s grown and become increasingly dense, layered with its own kind of history. Now, that map is completely gone: developer Epic has rebooted Fortnite with an all-new Chapter 2, which introduces a brand-new location to explore.

The new island looks wilder and more untamed than its predecessor, with plenty of forests, mountains, and lakes to explore, but much fewer city or urban locales. It’s different, but the abundance of green will likely remind long-time players of the early days of Fortnite. This will likely change as the battle royale island continues to evolve through updates and new seasons, however. And the familiar flying battle bus is still there to carry you into battle.

What happens when the world's most popular game shuts down?Fortnite’s Season 10 has been expected to end soon, and since last year, spectacular one-time live events within the game have been used to build hype, signal changes to the one map the game has used for two years, and usher in a new season and battle pass.

Dataminers that have looked at the Fortnite API have suggested there could be another our the black hole appearing on our screens, but what Since the event ended and the live stream for the black hole began, Epic Games have deleted every single tweet that was on the official Fortnite account.

Our Fortnite Black Hole Guide is keeping track of everything going on with the mini-game, numbers, and what' s going after "The End" event took place. It' s unclear if this is actually pointing to a real end time or not. It' s hard to believe that Epic will have Fortnite shutdown for that long. China Update.

Chapter 2 notably introduces new gameplay features, including fishing, swimming, and new vehicles to utilize like boats and... pogo sticks. There are also new multiplayer emotes that let you co-ordinate dances with friends. New weapons include a common variant of the rocket launcher, and a brand-new semi-automatic pistol, and you’re also able to better hide now, ducking in haystacks or dumpsters.

As always, there’s a new subscription battle pass that players can pay for to earn bonuses like character skins, the highlight of which is an adorable blue blob creature. The battle pass also works slightly different compared to past seasons.

It was a slightly bumpy transition between seasons. This morning, just after 4AM ET, with tens of thousands of people following along on Twitch, Fortnite suddenly went down for maintenance. The game’s official Twitter account returned to normal and large update was available for the game, but it wasn’t immediately playable. Players who tried to log in were greeted with a “servers not responding” warning. The new chapter finally went live close to two hours later.

Prior to today’s reveal Fortnite was subject to a dramatic and lengthy in-game event that saw the original island destroyed, apparently sucked into a black hole. The game was then down for nearly two days as players could do nothing more than simply stare at the black hole, which showed little signs of life, aside from curiously revealing various numbers. A leaked trailer provided the only real hint at what to expect. Epic gave no sign as to when the game might return.

The game’s new chapter was preceded by Fortnite season X, which launched at the beginning of August, right after the inaugural Fortnite World Cup and exhilarating mech vs. kaiju battle. The season proved controversial almost from the beginning, thanks to the addition of all-powerful mechs called B.R.U.T.E.S, which were eventually dramatically weakened after a vocal outcry from players.

Season X also introduced “rift zones,” unstable areas that had their own distinct rules and even visual styles; there were even some based on other properties like Borderlands and Batman. For some players, though, the speed of the updates were almost too fast, making it hard to keep up with the changes. But in the wake of chapter 2, the constant and significant changes now make a lot more sense.

Researchers have discovered a black hole that rotates so fast that it could sweep the entire universe.

Black holes are intriguing , basically they are but no new discovery. A black hole that may be spinning faster than any other before is a whole different story, according to the news portal Hindustan Times .

In 2016, AstroSat - India's first astronomical satellite - detected a black hole in the 4U 1630-47 binary star system that emitted X-rays that astronomers considered unusual.

These x-rays were caused by the fact that gas and dust were swallowed by the black hole . Using the rays, researchers were able to find out that the hole, which has ten times the mass of the sun, moved very, very fast.

As the lead author of the study, Rodrigo Nemmen, explained in his interview with the NASA , the speed of rotation of the black hole almost reaches the limits of Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The black hole turns almost at the speed of light. Currently, researchers have only two methods for measuring black holes, either by mass or rotational speed. The rotation speed of black holes ranges from 0 to a maximum of 1. This black hole rotated at a speed of 0.9.

Einstein's theory is that a black hole that rotates so fast can make the universe spin itself.

In addition to the black hole discovered by AstroSat, only

has four more black holes,

, where a similarly high velocity could be accurately measured. That the rotation speed of the black hole is really so high, was confirmed by the AstroSat of the Indian Space Research Organization and Nasas Chandra satellite. The study was conducted by researchers from various institutions and was led by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). It will be published in the journal "The Astrophysical Journal".
