No Time Like Lunchtime

General relativity isn’t all that general, is it? It only tells us about spacetime, and if you have a typical office job then you know that lunchtime is equally important. Overgeneralized relativity must explain all types of black holes, including steering committees with neatly-groomed hair, in a world of timelike intervals and lunchlike intervals in which the energy-momentum tensor decreases through the day.

clue:

Old-fashioned black holes have no hair. You may think it’s obvious, but it’s important enough to be a theorem.

give me a clue so sweet and true
