new, massive black hole found

Holy crap thinking about outer space and matter when I'm high is intense. :thumbsup:

space bugs me the fuck out

Maybe the universe is just a reversible jacket and black holes are portals to the plaid side of the jacket we hope to never have to show.

Haha! Good one. "Help! I'm being sucked into the plaid!"

It would be fun for awhile. Until you get stretched lengthwise until your torn apart by the massive amount of gravity. Imagine your body mass crushed down to the size of a pinhead... or smaller.

I did some research, the term is called spaghettification


An object in any very strong gravitational field feels a tidal force stretching it in the direction of the object generating the gravitational field. This is because the inverse square law causes nearer parts of the stretched object to feel a stronger attraction than farther parts. Near black holes, the tidal force is expected to be strong enough to deform any object falling into it, even atoms or composite nucleons; this is called spaghettification.

The strength of the tidal force depends on how gravitational attraction changes with distance, rather than on the absolute force being felt. This means that small black holes cause spaghettification while infalling objects are still outside their event horizons, whereas objects falling into large, supermassive black holes may not be deformed or otherwise feel excessively large forces before passing the event horizon.

So, are you saying it isn't actually practical to go through a black hole in a barrel? Shit! What am I going to do with this damn barrel?

What's left is the cosmic dust that makes up nebulas (or should that be nebuli? I'm not sure) anyway, new stars form from this "dust" and the cycle begins anew.
It's a touch more complicated than that but basicly there ya go.:thumbsup:

Also theres a theroy that there is 11 deferent universes that tie in with the big bang theroy which happens to coinside with the theory with evolution which also contradicts religion, god damn it. Sometimes I get so pissed having such a small brain.

This is M Theroy and it has turned up some answers to equasions that are very acurate on a stellar level. Gravity break throughs have been made because of this new M Theory, and M Theory has been around less than 5 years. very exciting stuff

M-theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

heres a cool show on M Theory, but be warned it does not have the end, but everything on there is very informative even if your not a physicist

That's right, the gravity would actually kill you before you reach the event-horizon (the point where nothing excapes).

Another interesting thing about black holes is that if you were to watch someone jump into a black hole as they got closer to the event horizon they would appear to slow down and never cross the horizon(they eventually would but not in your lifetime). The reason is that the light coming from your friend would be slowed down by the gravity and eventually be not allowed to reach you sitting safely at a distance.
