Back when I cared about this stuff I read a book Hawking wrote about blackholes and comsic stuff like that. If thats your thing there are some pretty interesting descriptions of what happens to matter that is pulled into a blackhole. Forgot what the book was called.

Actually, a new, partially accepted theory is that black holes don't lead anywhere, and they don't destroy matter as originally thought. They just charge it electrically, change it into a gas, and shoot it out at the poles. Kind of like a big reactor, I suppose.

Interesting, if correct.

Damn you! Don't get me interested in this stuff again.

I theorize that black holes lead to large women named Shaniqua.

ROFL

But seriously, IF they did "shoot you up with electrical charge" I wonder if everyone would die?

The universe is win.

youd deffinatly die once you went into a black hole, but youd be shot back out in a form that is unusable, grabled together.

Well black holes are still theory, there isn't any concrete proof they exist...since you can't see em or measure em directly.

I think Quasars are the single largest objects we know of. I will have to check that though.

i think that i just dreamt this whole f'ing place up. /me polks self in eye

we know black holes exist becasue they bend light that get near them, thoguth not near enougth to get sucked in. also we can see several exacples wer a Black hole is near a star and it is slowly saping matter away form it.

Also the way black hoels release the matter they contain is because there are at randome times and places(happening all the time) subatomic particles that appear and then annihilate each other(one regular one antimatter) but if a pair appears next to a black hole and one excapes and one falls in, the black hole acctulay has to lose mass, to account for that.

Um... what about wormholes?

Everay · 2004-09-26, 12:13 AM

black holes do exist, as i said, there is a large black hole the size of our solar system, roughly 5 billion miles across, at every large developed galaxy, we have detected ours, and the black holes at the center of a few galaxies around us, also i belive there is a black hole that will pass within 1000 light years of earth soon, roughtly 3000 years i belive.

as for wormholes, IF they exist, they are so small you couldnt see em with a microscope.

You refer to singularities. We actually have a probe in orbit now determining that. It was big on the media two or so months ago.
