I am an atom in the human population.

And I am pointing out that macro does not apply because the population is not on the macro level.

Which part what?

I leave it up to moderators to decide.

Unpredictable. Depends on circumstances, random factors and events, incidences and coincidences, etc.

That needs only a handful of people.

The West has already won.

Turns out that this^^^ is a very mild way to put it. Just an hour ago my wife called me to show the question in Jeopardy: This is too obvious. No need to know anything about these people and their prize. There is only one choice, isn't it? None of the contestants had anything to say about it. Silence!

They could say, e.g., "nothing, including light, ... ". What is the point of saying "even light" other than a dramatic effect?

Do you think the writers of these descriptions actually think about what readers might know about light and gravity? Or do they just keep repeating the catch phrase without thinking about it? I wonder, who had written it first.

Variations of this phrase in description of black holes are endlessly repeated: (Black hole - Wikipedia) (Black hole | Definition, Formation, Types, Pictures, & Facts | Britannica) (What Is a Black Hole? | NASA) Etc. My question is, why they use the phrase "even light" as some kind of extreme, as if light is expected to escape from everything and everywhere? What is it about light that if IT cannot escape then NOTHING can? (I am not asking about the physics of it, but about the use of this phrase in the layman descriptions.)

I've watched it. IMHO, skip.

Humanity is too small - 14 orders of magnitude smaller than Avogadro's number - for overall patterns to emerge.

Molecules will keep bouncing and interacting as long as their environment allows.

This was not only about scientists.

Another exception here.

I liked most of Sherlock Holmes stories but was particularly impressed by the very first I've read, The Speckled Band. It happened completely by accident while I was waiting for my parents in some house with book cabinets along the walls. I picked a book, opened it randomly, started reading, and couldn't stop.

For me, Bradbury as weel, also Simak. There are couple others in sci-fi that stayed with me, but you perhaps never heard their names, e.g., Strugatsky Brothers. One of the popular Russian sci-fi writers, G. Altov, and his wife were family friends with my parents. However, in spite of his efforts to make me interested in sci-fi, I was only lukewarm to it. How about Conan Doyle?

Back to the OP question. I think that Jack London's stories are in that category.

OK. I got the answer to my question. This is good enough.

That is the only event horizon that is well defined. I assume that you mean some metaphorical event horizon. Then, only you know what it is.

If you are talking about GR, no problem.

Yes.

I am asking about the revolution that you referred to here: Do you mean that this^^^ revolution is happening now?

OK.
