i agree with Stephen Hawking on the theory that it might go to a parallel universe, but nothing could survive entering the black hole.
also, i think we should all go and watch an episode of The Universe right now. at least im inspired to.

While Dimebag is playin a harmonized shreddy solo with Randy Rhoads while Cliff Burton keeps everyone in time WHILE playing a solo. Then Layne Staley makes up a song on the spot to go along with all of that.
There is a room.
In that room there is a moose.
In the mouth of that moose are Brazil nuts.
In that room with that moose with those Brazil Nuts in it's mouth is the sound of chewing.
In that room with that moose with those Brazil Nuts in it's mouth that it is chewing there is no time.
Just a room with a moose chewing Brazil Nuts for all eternity.
You are, as we speak, in that room watching that moose chewing those Brazil Nuts for all time, alone, staring into it's mouth with those Brazil nuts hearing it crunch as the moose chews in that room in which there is no time.
And you will never get out.

A friend's father explained to me why black holes emit radiation.SFR said:
One thing must first be known. Matter and anti-matter particles constantly pop into existance, collide, and turn back into energy.
It's not that anything is escaping from the black hole. Black holes "emit" radiation because sometimes matter appears right on the event horizon. One of the particles is sucked into the black hole while the other escapes into space. This also explains the theorized evaporation of black holes. Eventually they will suck up enough anti-matter to turn all the matter in the singularity into energy.
actually Hawking had to concede that stuff does survive a black hole. it was a famous bet, tho i think they changed the reward for the bet cause i remember if Kip won, he'd get a subscription to playboypantallica95 said:

i think stuff will survive, but it won't be in the form we once knew it as

I have effectively blown your mind.
Personally, I'm fascinated by black holes, the "no light can escape!" part of it, the event horizon part of it, the whole singularity thing of of, it's all so exciting! Yay SCIENCE!
I always thought a Black Hole was actually a collapsed star with a gravity field so immense that not even photons (light) can escape it, thus making it impossible to see (or black).
It's not actually a hole, it's a very, very small and highly compacted, dense stellar body.
The stuff about them being portals or dimensional gateways is just stuff SciFi authors made up or is based on old research/theories.

It's not a long trip to find out what really IS on the other side of a black hole, there's one in the centre of our galaxy.
I'm no scientist, but i believe black holes are not gateways to other dimensions or indeed some way to fast-travel in our own universe, rather they crush everything that gets in their event horizon to a singular point of near-infinite mass, a point of such force that even time itself cannot escape, and as time is relevant to the observer, then if someone where to get too near the centre of the black hole then THEY would cease to exist, at least in any tangible sense.
But I'm probably wrong. I usually am.

Yeah, after the implosion it is the entire mass of the galaxy that was sucked into the dying star upon implosion packed extremely tight... this amount of mass is like having a table with a hole in the centre then putting a clothe over it and dropping a marble onto the cloth where the hole is... however, there is a theory saying that as black holes literally bend time and space around them it could be possible that another black hole connects with "this" one and creates a sort of worm-hole that could transport a person from the part of the universe that they are to the part with the other hole... BUT the holes are believed to only be connected for short amounts of time and would most certainly close while anything was trying to get through ripping it into atoms instantly... heck, even the approach to a black hole will take apart anything in strands... a process called spaghettification.BaronXS said:
