The point of no return. The point beyond which regret — and it will be deep, transformational regret — is frozen in time and etched permanently on the fabric of the cosmos. | |||
{{drop|A|s we move into}} the holiday season (known by Europeans as the “'''[[MiFID]] Season'''”<ref>A joke that shall grow old, as we who are left grow old.</ref>) a reminder of the absolute limits on forgiveness imposed by the very fabric of the [[space-time continuum]] itself. Hence, the [[Schwarzschild radius of alcohol consumption]] — colloquially, the “[[gin horizon]]” — which is closely related to the [[Schwarzschild radius of document comprehension|equivalent for document comprehension]] — is the radius of a sphere such that the gravitational force of one’s judgment to get up, brush oneself off and go home, is finally and irreversibly outweighed by the nuclear forces of inebriation, meaning it is certain that you will collapse into a black hole of despair by morning. Your only hope — and it isn’t a very edifying one — is to be ejected into a [[Parallel universe|parallel]] dimension<ref>As often as not manifested as a nasty cocktail bar in a part of town you don’t recognize and wouldn’t, if anyone asked you, usually choose to enter.</ref> as an [[incandescent spume of cosmic gas]]. | |||
The [[Schwarzschild radius]] is also the point at which gravitational forces are so strong that no coherent message can escape to the outside world. Memories in ''and of'' you will be suspended for all eternity from this time, at this time. Yes: ''at this time''. Hence: not edifying. | The [[Schwarzschild radius]] is also the point at which gravitational forces are so strong that no coherent message can escape to the outside world.

The [[employment rate swap]] was invented at a point very close to the [[gin horizon]]. | |||
