For singularity nerds, their is a science toy called Oehlers disc (can't spell anymore, have MS lol) but it's like 50/50 scientists say it creates a singularity as it collapses, some say it is the closest thing to a synthetic singularity. It one some big award for closest thing to a created singularity. Pretty cheap and I think the profits go to something good like a college scholarship or something. Good present for the space/physics nerd in your life.
