Haha, and that says it all :) Radiation from an absolutely black body, a classic :)
Meticulous Ment) No, wait before you laugh and idealize. I don't remember this moment well and I might be wrong here, but it seems to me that the emissivity depends on the temperature of the black body. What will be emitted if the temperature of the body is extremely low? And for a black hole, it is low, otherwise it would quickly disappear. And besides, if everything were so simple, then these objects would be easy to detect, but so far they are being searched for based on indirect signs.

In general, your argument is quite pointless. Just ask yourself the question "where did the universe come from" and try to answer it.
A wizard did it.

Yes, anything, really. As far as I know, he touches upon the theme of dark medieval times in almost all his books. You could choose The Witcher, for example; it's a good book, well-known, and there would be plenty to discuss with others.

The book is excellent. There are plenty of writers in this genre. But it's still dark fantasy, not medieval times.
And regarding the depravity – yes, that's 100% true. What used to be considered a disaster for the honor of a normal person is now completely normal. People actively exploit each other's base instincts for selfish purposes and don't feel ashamed about it. It seems like everything is allowed... for a certain price, of course.

Honor? Take any example of this "honor," whether it's a knight, a samurai, or a gentleman – they didn't always adhere to their own invented codes. And the majority of the population has always consisted of people from lower social classes, who were often not very familiar with the concept of honor.

For example, the idea of a knight as an ideal of honor emerged at the end of the knightly era, along with chivalric romances (here, Cervantes should be mentioned). Initially, "knight" was equivalent to "cavalryman," and later also "small landowner."

An important source of misconceptions is school history textbooks, which not only don't always tell the truth but also often omit details. Does Rasputin's biography mention what Boney M sings about? Does the textbook mention that in any medieval army, traveling prostitutes accompanied the baggage train?

Many more examples can be given to prove that the level of depravity has not changed much. We live as we did in the Kali Yuga.

Regarding camp followers and other related topics, I learned a lot by reading about Frederick the Great's campaigns against Russia. But were they present in the early Middle Ages?

No less important was the presence of prostitutes. They were the cause of all troubles and soldiers' riots. The English twice, under Neys and in the Lausanne camp, staged completely outrageous brawls, in one of which they almost shot Charles the Bold. (After that, they were chased around the entire camp, beaten, and robbed).
The Germans were more likely to fight over gambling. In the camp of Emperor Frederick in 1475, two bloody clashes broke out over losses in dice games. Both times, there were stabbings, dozens of corpses, and gunfire from arquebuses.
Charles the Bold, in order to curb the soldiers' desire to fight over prostitutes, included a paragraph in the Saint-Maximin ordinance stating that each company (900 men on the roster) could be accompanied by no more than 30 prostitutes, and no soldier or officer could claim any particular woman. In the Lausanne ordinance, prostitutes were completely banned, which, of course, did not prevent them from infiltrating the Burgundian army. When the Swiss defeated the Burgundians near Murten and stormed the camp, numerous women quickly bared their breasts to them, in order to unequivocally assure the victors of their gender. What happened next is well illustrated by miniatures from Swiss chronicles.

True, this is the late Middle Ages; unfortunately, much less information has survived from the early Middle Ages.

I'll try to find more about the early period.

that in any medieval army, camp followers included traveling prostitutes

I am so categorical :( . I should have written "in most cases."

Yes, in the Middle Ages (and even later) in England, entire cities and villages were wiped out by syphilis. The incidence of this disease reached 100% of the population (children were born already infected).
I would never call the past a chaste time.

By the way, here's something from Wikipedia:

From a scientific point of view, the hypothesis about the existence of God (and related concepts such as soul, spirit, heaven, hell, etc.) does not meet Popper's criterion, as there is no possibility of verifying this by scientific method, nor is it assumed. As a result, any reasoning about the existence of God is not scientific.

at the moment, don't forget to add. Previously, it was believed that the sun revolved around the earth, and there was no way to verify this by scientific method. And even earlier, it was believed that the earth was flat.

Oh, you really want that? Okay, if I lose all the knowledge I've accumulated over the last 17 years, for example, without the ability to recover it, that would be very bad, because all the work would be for nothing.
How would that happen? The brain isn't a hard drive.

Basically, anything works, as far as I know, he touches upon the theme of the Dark Ages in almost all his books. You could choose The Witcher, for example; it's a good book, well-known, and there would be plenty to talk about with others.
I wasn't even thinking about the Middle Ages. In any case, not the European Middle Ages.
Menti, hold on, don't laugh and idealize. I don't remember this moment very well and I might be wrong, but I think that the radiation depends on the temperature of the black hole. What will be emitted if the temperature of the body is extremely low? And for a black hole, it is low; otherwise, it would quickly disappear. And if it were that simple, these objects would be easy to detect, but so far they are being searched for based on indirect signs.
Maybe I don't know. But that's not what I meant. Never mind, I didn't quite express myself correctly. If they do have thermal radiation, it should be even more likely to stay in place, because low frequencies have less energy => they are easier to attract with the large mass of a black hole.
For example, the idea of a knight as an ideal of honor emerged at the end of the era of chivalry, along with chivalric romances (here, Cervantes should be mentioned). Initially, "knight" was equivalent to "horseman," and later also "small landowner."
I'm actually reading it now; I didn't expect to find such harsh satire :) Everyone knows that knights didn't have any ideals; only people like Don Quixote could think that way. I already wrote that they went on raids, using the name of Christ as a cover.
Is there anything in Rasputin's biography that Boney M sings about?
Yes.
whether it's a knight, a samurai, or a gentleman
I have no idea about samurai, but the intelligentsia of the nineteenth century (especially the beginning) perfectly understood what honor was. This is evidenced by the rather casual attitude of writers of that time towards its manifestations, as something self-evident (as in Pushkin: Tatyana refuses Onegin without hesitation; it is written as if another answer is theoretically impossible). Since the intelligentsia at that time dictated fashion to all other segments of the population, they had to, willingly or unwillingly, conform to that level in some way. And now, fashion is dictated by the rest, let's say.

Yes, nowadays trends are dictated by greedy pigs who have plundered Russia; even in the morning news, they show naked women. But we are not like them, gentlemen; we know what honor is.
