WTF is Black Hole Registry?

Great first question, Universe!

Take one part South Park, one part Greeting Cards Against Humanity, blend it with art, science, and a hallucinating AI, and you get Black Hole Registry.

At Black Hole Registry, there's something for everyone. Whether you're looking to give a truly unique gift that delivers a message to your special—or not-so-special—someone, or you want to "smarten up" your living space with some beautiful art, we have something for everyone.

Stick around. Check out our product descriptions and follow us on our socials. We are dedicated to exploring the Universe within us all through art, science, and humor.

Do you really name a Black Hole after someone?

That depends on your point of view. Technically your registration is the registration of your art/print. The only internationally recognized agency that can "officially" name astronomical objects is the IAU (International Astronomical Union).

But we are actively working on this! It only took billionaires a few years to overtake NASA, and now that the Supreme Court made Federal bribery legal we can probably take this over if we make enough money. Starting our own religion isn't off the table either. Stay tuned.

What do you get with a Black Hole Registration?

So many things—it’s honestly a tough question to answer! Black Holes are the most mysterious objects in the universe, but with such a unique gift you could be considered the most thoughtful person in the universe, and others get some sweet, sweet, revenge with our Assholes Collection.

For our part, you’ll receive a one-of-a-kind print of a Black Hole that exists somewhere in the multiverse, complete with its own unique registration. Rest assured—it will never be duplicated or given to anyone else.

As for what else might show up? Well… since we started creating mini black holes in our lab, we’ve been getting all kinds of strange surprises. If our stupid cat, Schrodinger, finds his way in there (again), don’t worry—we’ll cover the return shipping.

Wait a second... How do you know my Black Hole exists?

Science of course. There are several prominent theories that support an infinite Universe, a Multiverse, or both. Here is a simplified breakdown.

  • Infinite Universe: If the Universe is infinite, it means that space extends forever without bound. In such a scenario, there are infinitely many regions of space that could contain various configurations of matter.

  • Finite Possibilities: The number of ways particles can be arranged is finite, if you have an infinite universe, the same configurations will eventually repeat. This leads to the idea that there would be regions of space that are identical to our own, including exact copies of you!

Your other self knew this already.

More Questions....

  • Is my Black Hole and Recipient info visible to anyone else?

    On our site? No. Your gift is private. We don't publish your gift or message to anyone else. We do keep a record if you want to upgrade your order.

  • Can I order a Black Hole somewhere else?

    Of course. Carefully move to another location from where you are sitting or standing. The site should still work. If it doesn't, please let us know.

  • What can you tell me about shipping?

    Our main products from Black Hole Registry are shipped from Minnesota, USA. It's so cold here that we have nothing to do for nine months of most years. Unless we are snowed in, we will ship your order as soon as possible.

  • Does everything get shipped together?

    That depends on what is ordered. Some of our products such as Canvas and Metal prints are printed and shipped on demand from our suppliers. If you have ordered multiple items, you may receive multiple shipments.
