That is to assume that there are parallel universes which there is no evidence to support.Eldritch Warlord said:
That's just a myth. They're really made out of cheese. People got black holes and the moon confused. The moon is made out of spiders, but people are idiots, and got spiders confused with cheese.BaronXS said:
Aside from conjecture based on mathematical formulae describing the physical nature of reality. There is some evidence actually but you would be correct in saying that parallel universes are little more than hypothesis.hypothetical fact said:
I guess I'll have to be the boring one and say that you will never reach the centre because time and space don't exist there.
There is only nothingness... And maybe Chuck Norris ensuring that nothing escapes.

I think I'll side with Stephan Hawking and that black holes may hold the other universes on the other side of them, but, from what we know, no one would survive the trip.
Either that or its nothing but a big space whirl pool with an extremely high amount of gravity that would crush any living being inside it.

It really doesnt make a whole lot of sense does it.PurpleRain said:
As I understand it, and Im no quantum physicist, a black whole is a mass with a gravitational pull so large it crushes everything into a point of singularity. I also understand that our traditional views on physics do not apply to black holes as their behavior cannot be expained by modern physics. I also, also understand that the gravitational pull is so great that they warp both space and time.
think of katamari dimashi everything that was near by though got stuck to it not even in contact then just think how that would look if it was black
ARGH!
It's mass (not it's weight, weight is mass in a gravitational or electric field, which inside a sphere is rendered mute, null and void) is so massive it collapses into a very, vehuhuhery small volume, a simple thought for you all to grasp this is, if the Earth was about 3mm across, it would be considered a singularity and a black hole.
Now say our sun collapsed into a black hole, with out supernovaing (that's so wrong), nothing would change, it's gravitaional effect on Earth remains the same, it has the same mass, light passing close enough to it, within the size of when it was a sun and doing the same thing, the light changes direction, eventually spiraling in towards the event horizon.
Also see my previous post, number 12, that is the other way of saying it. This is what most sane Astrophysicists believe to be true.

He is considered a moron by quite a few people in the scientific community, he's just popular.Gerazzi said:

Not true. Black holes don't really work as celestial garbage disposals. Their gravity doesn't very much from our sun of an equal size. Not until you get too close anyway.Ollie596 said:
It doesn't go anywhere, as it's not really a whole. It just sucks up matter that strays to close. It's not even destroyed from what I've read/watched on TV. In fact, sucked in matter and light escape sometimes. Also, a black whole has entropy, so it eventually will (in a VERY LONG time) break and all the matter it sucked up will escape.
You know, I've heard so many different things about black wholes, I don't even know what's true anymore. I'm going with the more recent stuff I've heard, I guess.
No they don't.Zenode said:
Its a very dense bit of matter that pulls everything into itself, nobody wonders what happens when you get crushed.
Some day when we develop the technology to overcome the immense forces of gravity, and send some brave soul into a black hole for the good of science, he will reach the other side and there will be a giant sign saying "Level 2".
umm.. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the literal space on the other side. black holes are just collapsed stars that happen to put out ridiculous amounts of gravity (just like regular stars). they're not portals to other dimenions and you've only got a 17% chance of escaping a black hole by being shot out the (what I can only describe as) magnetic poles.
