And also the longest death ever according to the general theory of relativity.  As you approach a gravity well, time slows down immensely.  Within the event horizon of a black hole, it could take you millions or billions of years to be crushed into your component subatomic particles.  Geek


hahhaha... ....   I could dig that...

considering the average life span is... what... 70 odd years....   would finally have a chance to listen to all the albums I have at least. Maybe catch up on adding and evaluating bands here.  Even read a few books....
 
You could get a lot accomplished. Doesn't sound so bad afterall...LOL

Yes, yes, The Larch... but, how can it be recognized?

I don´t know if you can use the term blackhole... better use african-americanhole instead

Wouldn't that offend the blackholes of non-African origin?

I can't wait until our galaxy is sucked into the giant black hole in the center.

There is also a theory that at one point you would exist in two places at once, so you could watch yourself being slowly squashed assunder.
 
Of course the best way to do it would be while listening to Disaster Area while travelling on their space ship Geek

1. A black hole is a collapsed star, so inside it are all the sub-atomic particles that made up the original star.
 
2. A white hole is exactly the same as a black hole except that it the complete opposite Confused (these things only really exist in the Mathematical sense) - it a) has no mass and b) emits particles.
 
It could be argued that black holes and white holes are the same thing, but in white holes time is reversed.
 
Another theory is that a black hole is connected via a wormhole to a white hole in a paralelle universe, matter sucked into the black hole travels along the wormhole and is spewed out of the white hole.
 
What?

I think that all of these black holes appearing means that the fabric of the universe is being torn apart. Pretty soon all of these black holes will join together causing the universe to fall apart around our ears and other extremeties.We'd better act darn quick.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US astronomers have discovered the biggest black hole orbiting a star 1.8 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia, with a record-setting mass of 24 to 33 times that of our Sun, NASA said Tuesday.

The massive newcomer beats the previous stellar-mass black hole discovered October 17 in the M33 galaxy that has 16 times the mass of our Sun, the US space agency said.

Like the much larger, supermassive black holes found at galaxy centers, stellar-mass black holes have such powerful gravity fields that not even light can escape them. Astronomers estimate their mass by measuring their gas emissions and the gravitational effect on the stars they orbit.

"We weren't expecting to find a stellar-mass black hole this massive," says Andrea Prestwich of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Lead author of the discovery paper in the November 1 Astrophysical Journal Letters, Prestwich and his team found the new stellar-mass black hole using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

"We now know that black holes that form from dying stars can be much larger than we had realized," he added.

Prestwich's team was able to measure the black hole's mass because it has an orbiting companion: a hot, highly evolved star. The star is ejecting gas in the form of a wind.

Some of this material spirals toward the black hole, heats up, and gives off powerful X-rays before crossing the point of no return.
