Indeed. A black hole is just a collapsed star, compressed to the point that it's gravitational pull is astronomically more powerful that the gravitational pull of a regular star (Keep in mind that a regular star's gravitational pull is strong enough to hold planits in orbit of it for billions if not trillions of years.... AND strong enough to pull comets from the middle of nowhere into it's orbit) which is no small amoung of force.

Why do so many people let others fill their head with drivel. How can anyone even be sure of the existence of black holes? Did they see one from a telescope? Oh, please. I once saw an equasion that illegedly explained how powerful a Black Hole's gravitational pull was. I sure would like to know how they came up with this wonderful theory, since they've never even seen a damned black hole.

Whenever anyone asks me where I think people go if they enter a black hole, I always say, "Well, I guess that all depends on what kind of life they led beforehand!!"

if the universe is about 180 billion light-years wide.
then what's at the ends of that width? a wall? a jelly skin? nothingness? a force that lets nothing go further? uhmm....

If the age of the univese is 13 billion years or so, and nothing can travel faster than light, how can the universe be 150 billion light years across?

Because that means that something was there and always will be? And if you believe that to be some sort of energy, because energy cannot be created or destroyed, then where does the energy come from? And if you believe some sources, our souls were part of this energy, therfore always were and always will be. Does this scare anyone else?

A spinning object should set up vibrations in the fabric of space- time, those vibrations could be detected and tell us the density of the material they move through and the tension applied to that material. In turn this may allow for communication over intersteller distances if such a thing is possible.

I think that people that see UFO's are really seeing humans beings that are time traveling and don't want to intefere with todays time. Could this be possible that we invented time machines that we could go back in time to prehistoric ages?

My younger cousin (9 yrs old) asked me this seemingly innocent question and I found it beyond my knowledge to give him a complete answer. I'd appreciate it if the community could provide one that would satisfy the questions of so young a "scientist".

Would you volunteer to leave Earth and become a member of an extra-terrestrial colony? Is the potential for global nuclear war on Earth a compelling reason to establish the colony? Would there be any guarantee that the colony would not repeat Earth's nuclear mistake? Aren't human beings their own worst enemies?
