Scariest thing is, we only found those first black holes by chance. The whole light bending around it thing... And, if a black hole came to our solar syste.....no matter how big, we'd be completely ripped apart by it. And as it comes towards earth it will be dragging the sun and any other planets it hasnt already consumed with it, so we'll be roasted alive first anyway. Ooo isnt solar destruction fun! Oh and that thing about galaxies passing through each other....only if the centres arent too close, otherwise the blackholes are gonna merge and create a larger galaxy, or one will consume the other.

The thought of black holes really scare me, because all the power they have

we talked about them in my classs.. and wow.. its just freaky, but i mean... wow I dont get how they can compress things so small! because i mean, its really strange how they have so much power in such little area, right? because i learnt black wholes have mor epower the smaller? or am i wrong?

i have acually heard that they have proven white holes which are the opposite of black holes. now ofcourse they ar not acually white. but it is supposed to be spitting out whatever its counter part swallows. because everyone knows that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

another thing i have heard is that there might even be black holes on earth. just like dark matter black holes cane be any where. it doesn't take a dying star to start it. this hasn't been proven though. it is just a theory.

that was some theories that people think but it wasn't proven since no one has been "sucked" inside a black hole. but as tetraca mentioned, the things that are sucked in a black hole are squeezed so thin that astronomers believe that no one will survive being sucked inside a black hole. and if ever there's an "opposite side" i think it's just pieces of broken matter.


as tetraca also mentioned, black holes aren't the same as wormholes where you could travel through space. but that's not proven either.


um actually i've watched a documentary about galaxies colliding and sometimes, these galaxies, upon collision, form a different galaxy. there would probably some stars that would pull each other then upon impact would destroy each other and some would form a bigger star (usually result to a starbust galaxy), and some stars would probably be thrown out of the galaxy. it is believed that a black hole is at the center of a galaxy and is what forms the galaxy itself (along with the forming of the shape of the galaxy).


well the exact point of black holes is that it sucks everything, even light. they can consume "everything".


yes. it was proven in geography and all other studies of the earth. the stones that are attracted to the poles of the earth (magnetically, that is) align themselves according to the poles. and the layers of the earth proved that the alignment changed for a lot of times so it is believed that the north pole once became the south pole and vice versa.

i believe that there are such things as white holes in a sense that they don't have the same function as wormholes. in my opinion, these holes regulate everything in the universe, with a creation of a black hole causes a creation of a white hole so that everything sucked at one side is excreted at the other side. just like with the earth's lithosphere. we get moving continents due to the movement of the earth's inner layers, with all the rocks are circulated.

oh and did you know that calling milky way as "milky way galaxy" is redundant?

Actually, recent studies have shown that stars are forming in the close proximity (a few lightyears) of black holes.

What is interesting about black holes is;

In the very center of a black hole, where the gravitational pull in infinate, time stands still.

I think, I know what you're talking about, I saw that show, too. Interesting, yeah. But nothing more. As far as the time standing still is concerned - it will continue its way as long as you hit the "surface" of the black hole. The time tands still onl if you are moving with a speed over the speed of light. But once you stop - the movement of time continues.

As far as the stars being born around black holes - that is a complete nonesence, in that case there would not be spiral galaxiest tens of parsecs actoss, all the stars would be clustered in the center, collide, and thus ruin the whole galaxy. A black hole in the center of each galaxy is only necessary to keep the inner and outer stars in constant motion so that they don't collide with one another and prevent the galaxy from collapsing upon itself. Though high, their mass is finite. It has been calculated - not estimated - that every supermassive black hole in the center of galaxy weights exactly 0.5% of the galaxy's mass. I'm not sure as to where does it lead us as far as rotation and stuff, but I am sure that there is some math used to ascribe for the phenomena. All a black hole is is a supermassive star that ran out of fuel and its mass is too high, as it starts expanding, so, that the radiation from the most dense part - the core - cannot hold the weight, and the star just collapses upon itself. The acceleration is so great that the star itself becomes a very small object. Depending on its mass it can become a white dwarf star, or a black hole, if the mass is high. Scientists today tend to consider the black holes as garbage bins of the universe - they collect the unnecessary trash around us and get rid of it. How does i happen - nobody knows, probably just the hole itself is getting larger, but nobody really cares about that. Scientists also consider using them for that purpose in the future - to keep litter away from the Earth. In that case I have a question - why don't you just dump stuff over on the Sun? It's closer, thus, cheaper, anf it provides more fuel for it to survive.

Yeah, there are many other weird theories like the wormwholes and stuff - but I don't really believe in them as they have no scientific or matemathical data to back them up.
