I'm not reading the entirety of the post, so forgive me if I restate some things (If not everything).
Anyways, from what I understand, a black hole is basically an area of space where everything gets compacted to its very limit.
For example, everything on earth, including earth, including out bodies, has matter and space. A surprising amount of space. What happens when it meets a black hole? All that space is pressed together, leaving only the matter. I'm not sure if this part is true, but I've heard that since every atom is compacted (Since there is space in atoms themselves), the final product of any object compacted in a dark hole actually becomes much smaller than a single atom.
So basically a black hole is an EXTREME compressor.
And no, it doesn't "suck things in" either. It is not a vacuum, this I know for a fact.
I think the whole "things get sucked in" idea was spawned because black holes are more like funnels shaped like spheres, and they move through space. This means that once they come in contact with something, it moves down towards the center of the funnel where it becomes compressed, things including light.
...Also the album Black Holes And Revelations by Muse is pretty fantastic. :D

well a black hole actually achieves a point of infinite density, not just finite density but density beyond what is capable in the normal rules of the universe, thats why it has special relativity and it exists in a state of singularity.

They don't wipe out an entire galaxy, just the star system.

I love it when someone tries to raise the tone of the BBS. Kinda gives you hope that this place isn't simply filled with racists, morons and Funkbrs.
Anyway, I hear they are going to recreate a black hole with a super-collider somewhere in switzerland. Or is that the big bang? Anyway, this makes me damn nervous...
Look who's here for your birthday sweetie!

now a worp hole....
That made me think about something. What if a worm hole crashes into a black hole? what will happen then?

I personally think it's quite interesting. But I also understand that we're never going to know everything about the universe. I see little point in continuing research into black holes. It really doesn't affect us in our everyday lives. I see it as a waste of time.
However, Rai, it's funny you should mention Steven Hawking's research. That was rather funny. I read that he spend over a decade putting together this theory, for it to be proved very soon after. Poor Steve's gotta be pissed about that.

I don't believe there's any strong evidence supporting a worm hole, thus any theory derived from the incident you mentioned would only be a speculation.

As a singularity??
Good luck with that.

Okay, despite the fact that I find this very intresting, what does this actually contribute to mankind? I don't see any big progress here, just some information exchange, or discussions.
But the topic started doesn't use propper grammer :(
So doesn't me.
Oh well, Any one intrested in showing some sources?
Cuz ur All big liaz.

By all means, but you will be stretched like a mother fucker because of 'Spaghettification'.

Bloody good word though.
There's no evidence that black holes actually transport matter through space or time, it's quite possibly that they are merely a physical mass and that the influence they exert on the space around them is purely gravitational.
It's all hypothetically possible, but no one's got one in a test tube yet.

i read somewhere not too long ago that scientists made a small black hole, and it lasted for 0.4 seconds. (they had machines that recorded a small twist in the testing surface)
we'll be making big ones in 50 years. so a black hole guns might be possible in the future.

My pitch in the discussion.
I really like that idea.

For our A-level Physics coursework, everyone had to research into a topic of their choice. A friend of mine done wormholes, and apparently they do exist but are about a proton wide in size and are instantaneous. My coursework was super-string theory and the ideas behind it provided back up that worm holes could exist. But yeah technically its all still theory. A lot of physics is.
I dont honestly know too much about black holes but what interests me is how they are formed. Sure they "suck everything in" which is pretty fucking awesome. But the idea of a large star collapsing in on itself is pretty badass.

I had heard of a project where scientists could "warp" a particle, probably a proton, all the way across the country instantly. Either that or they were just able to control one particle in california with another particle in new york, with no delay in movement. Pretty interesting topic your friend has there, though.

my 2 cents...
black holes not only suck in matter through ridiculously extreme gravity but all other ambient energy whether it be heat, electromagnetic rays, light, etc. then it does a sort of elemental-inverse-backflip (imagine a snake eating its tail until it sort of just... disappears)
and this becomes.... either some kind of energy or 'dark matter' (not sure what that is but its worth a shot)
blow me.

A champion is you.
Because you're striking gold right there.
Another guy who also does philosophy done something on that. I think Ive got the word file but I havent read it yet. The other people on our course who have read it say its extremely interesting.
From what I can gather its something to do with splitting 2 particles up and doing exactly as you said; moving or changing the one particle. The end result is that the other split particle or whatever does exactly the same thing without any input. And like you said it apparently can be done over great distances instantaneously.
Thats crazy talk right there lol. The file is on my school account and Im going to try and get it first thing tomorrow.
