Exactly the Same Conformal Field Theory That Vafanai Used to Construct the Hologram for the Stringy Black Hole Solution
Cygnus X1 is 98, 99%, within 1% of the speed limit. Jarrus 1915, maybe 2%. There's a lot of them that are really, really whizzing around up there. And when they get very near the speed limit, as they like to do, they get exactly the same conformal symmetry that Vafanai used to construct the hologram for the stringy black holes. The symmetry also has predictions which we've made for the structure of emissions from, and signals from, you know, astrophysical black holes.
