I have few Earthly questions??

Question

1. What's "The black hole" and where is it and what does it do and if it sucks stuff where does that stuff go??
2. What's "The Big Bang" all about how did it happen, when does it happen, and why??
3. What's the Y2K??
4. I saw somewhere on Yahoo! answer that after you dig soooo far under the ground or ocean you'll find Heck. How can can that be?? If you fly so far up into the sky will you find Heaven?? No. So why do some people think that?? They could have been hearing sea creature cry or whine or something. What's that volcano thing about something about some type of volcano from Heck or something.
5. Why is it if you dig so far under the ground it's hotter??
6. What's this thing about the world has some type of thing that goes on for 5,000 years or over 5,000 years and that 5,000 in some year in thing is ending some type like what is that??
7. Let's just say we dug a hole all the way though the Earth, will we find the Solar System and if we do will all of our air go into it??

Answer 1

a few? okay I'll give it my best
1-a black hole is a collection of mass that is so great, its gravity can even stop light from leaving. Anything that goes near it gets forever trapped within it.
2-It is where the universe was created, basically all the matter that exists now was there at the start and it exploded with incredible force.
3-y2k was an issue with computers that the damn things werent programmed with an extra digit holder for the year because it was designed in like 1980 so they jsut used "80". apparently it caused a lot of software issues.
4-if you dig too deep it does get warm, you approach the mantle which is hotter than the crust. Hell, is not down there, or if it is, its not reachable by digging.
5-already got that one
6-maybe your talking about the ice ages? the precession of the earth? or the polarity flip of the earth? I'm not really sure what your asking but you can probably find a lot of information by searching the internet with those terms.
7-diggin a hole through the dirt and rock of the earth would only lead you to a place which is liquid hot metals. That would be all you found, no air would get sucked in. and by the way, we know exactly where the solar system is.

hope that helped

Answer 2

Music and pet luva,

That's a lot of questions! Here are some short answers that I hope will help:

1. A black hole is is not actually a hole, but is an object in space with an enormous amount of mass that exists within a single point. It sucks things in because there is so much mass, it exerts a large gravitational force on nearby objects. The stuff that it sucks in simply stays at the point where the black hole exists, and adds to its mass.

2. The big bang is the current scientific theory on how the universe started. It says that all of the mass of the universe existed in a single point (much like a black hole), and then all of that matter was expelled outward in an enormous explosion. Physicists estimate that it happened over 13 billion years ago, and that is the only time that it has happened (since you can only create the universe once).

3. Y2K stands for the name "Year 2 thousand", and is the name of a computer bug that people feared would mess up the operation of computers and thus wreak havok on the world's economy. The fear was that since most computer programs used only the last two digits of a year to designate that year (like "87" for 1987), once it turned 2000, the computers would think that it was the year 1900 and do all it's calculations wrong. Fortunately, this did not end up being much of a problem and the economy was not hurt.

4. You will not find heck, hell, or heaven if you dig deep in the earth or look high into the sky. These things are idealized places that souls go when they die, and they may or may not be real, but if they are real you will not find them in our physical reality just by exploring different places in the earth.

5. It is hotter deep in the earth because when the earth first formed, it was a hot mass of molten material that cooled off and solidified. Since the outside of the earth was exposed to space, it was able to cool off faster to form the surface of the earth we see today, but much of the heat from the earth's formation is still trapped inside and makes the inside of the earth incredibly hot.

6. I'm really not sure what you're referring to here. There are many cyclic processes that go on in the earth, and some of them may last 5000 years, but without being more specific about what process you're referring to, I can't give you any more information.

7. We have already found the solar system... it is the name given to the sun and all of the planets, including earth, that revolve around it. The earth is PART of the solar system, it is all around, so we will not "find" it by digging through the earth. We won't lose our air either-- there is a layer of air that completely surrounds our planet called the atmosphere. The air will not escape if we dig a hole all the way through the earth, because there is already air on the other side. The only way air could escape is up into space, but the earth's grativy keeps the air near the surface of the earth.

Answer 3

1. A black hole (BH) is the remaining core of a massive star destroyed in a supernova. The violent explosion releases most of the star's mass, leaving a small nearly invisible neutron star behind. This star then collapses under its gravity into a BH. Gradually, the BH pulls in nearby matter and gains mass, and further collapses. The core of our galaxy is a super massive BH, millions of solar masses and just a few kilometers across. Neither matter nor energy can escape the gravitational field of a BH, not even light itself; hence the term "black". We suspect BH to be at the center of spiral galaxies like our own.

2. The Big Bang was the event that produced the universe. About 14 billion years ago, the space inflated rapidly from a tiny particle. We don't know why it occurred. Physics cannot address its cause, but can describe its results: the forces, matter and energy we know today. The Big Bang is the best theory so far that accounts for observations of cosmic background radiation, the best evidence for this event.

3. Y2K was an anticipated event that never occurred. In the 1990s it was believed computers around the world would go haywire because their programs would misrepresent the year 2000 (Y2K) as only "00" and confuse the date with "1900", and therefore be inoperable. At the stroke of midnight, on January 1, 2000, computers were expected by doom sayers, to through the world into chaos: banks, governments and institutions would've lost their data and been out of business. The world economy would've collapsed. Fortunately, the Y2K problem was overstated and these dire predictions never materialized. Y2K is now viewed as another "urban legend" or would be "hoax".

3. The heated layers of rock a few miles under our feet result from two processes. The primary reason is that these rocks are absorbing heat from the Earth's liquid iron core. This heat is also due to the breakdown of radioactive elements like uranium, which releases heat energy.

4. If you dug a tunnel through the Earth (a distance of 12,746 KM) you'd end up on the other side of the planet. You'd have to pass through the liquid iron core, which is really impossible.

Answer 4

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang

3) The Y2K bug was a fear that all the soft ware would think it was 1900 instead of 2000 when the year began thereby causing mass chaos. It turned out to be unfounded.

4)Heaven and Hell, in my opinion, do not exist in this plane of existence.

5) Mostly Pressure and the heat of the internal Earth rises from large amounts of radioactive decay. Rock is also a poor conductor of heat.

6) That question is poorly defined.

7) The solar system exist around the Earth. We are a part of it, not the container for it. The Earth might suck int he atmosphere but I doubt it and we really don't have to worry about it.

Answer 5

That's more than a few. I think you need to do a wee bit of research on geology. "Heck" is not inside the middle of our planet and heaven isn't way up in the sky. You may have to do some research on theology too. Perhaps you may want to look at a calendar since Y2K was the millennium (2000). As for the rest do a little studying, grammar, history, science and you should be able to answer your own questions.
