Black Holes are cool!

Who here thinks black holes are cool?

The idea of a rip in spacetime is odd but kinda cool. Well, I may just be a geek too, but thats besides the point.

Yeah it is interesting, I like the idea of them connecting us to another universe or something, I wish I could watch one live.

I think black holes are very interesting. Mainly because no one really knows what happens when you go through it.

It could be a rip in time, or perhaps you eventually pop out in another part of the universe, or an entirely different universe all together? Its one of the things that makes space so mysterious and interesting.

I think I read somewhere that most scientist think that when something enters a black whole (including light itself) it cannot escape. The gravitation pull of the hole is too strong to let anything out. They also think that when something enter's a black hole, it gets stretched out. It stretches in one direction, making any object that enters the whole turn into one giant stick of licorice. The black whole continues to stretch the object, but since matter cannot be destroyed nor created, the object never really ceases to exist, it just keeps getting stretched out longways. Also, when it's stretched, it isnt symmetrical, if you know what I mean. The end of the long "string" of matter that is closest to the black hole is narrower than the other end.

Although this is the most logical explanation, its not that interesting.

black holes are really interesting ... i learned a bit about them in astronomy in high school

also, when i don't know where a friend has gone i use the expression "he/she fell in a black hole" or for select situations i say "he/she turned into a black hole"... i think they're fun

worm holes are cooler if you'd ask me

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

ya, the fact that its theoritically possible to survive a wormhole makes it that much cooler than a blackhole. nonetheless i still think black holes are cool. the fact that the length of a blackhole the size of a caravan can stretch an entire galaxy is mindbogolling
