I was confused as to how the researchers created a black hole in a lab, which I hadn't heard of being done before. As far as I can tell, an "analog" black hole is different from a normal black hole in that it doesn't use gravity and only works on acoustic waves or electromagnetic waves, depending on the type [1]. That said I don't really get what's going on.
I'd be curious if someone who actually knows what they're talking about could try to clarify how the researchers have a black hole here.
EDIT: There's a link[2] to another article at the bottom that describes how the researchers are simulating a black hole. My bad for not catching this earlier.
