I heard that it's already been done and we humans are a race of biters that are trying to copy the mechanics of alien spacecrafts that have infinite fuel engines that run on black matter. Is this true?

Fine, since you're so smart, if spaceships were really in use, how would they work?

This is interesting

But really, how would a black hole be contained?

First it's dark matter, not black matter. And the only black holes we've been able to make are in particle accelerators, and those are smaller than an electron and only last a few billionths of a nanosecond.

A blackhole does not produce energy it absorbs it. The only way you could use a black hole for space travel is to use it to squeeze energy out of matter and their are already certainly more efficient methods for doing that.

That is so funny, lumping NASA in with the FBI. The rest of the question is crazy too. None of that is even slightly plausible.

We'd have to be close enough to a black hole for it to work and that might get a little risky, wouldn't you say?

No, but it sounds like you are into science fiction, like Asimov, Greg Bear or James Blish.

Can not run on black holes, or anti-matter, or neutron substance.

Sounds like you've seen the movie "Event Horizon" one too many times. =)

No that is not true. Nobody even knows what dark matter is yet.
