Suns about 10 X the size that start to die go may become a super nova and ultimately a pulsar (very fast spinning mass which magnifies weight to the point in which a feather would weigh a tonne, due to gravity).

And of course there are the super suns (100 X the size of our own) that have such a massive weight, when they collapse the energy is great enough to create a black hole. Apparently, scientists believe there are a few renegade black holes larger than anything we could even begin top comprehend getting around swallowing up entire galaxies, moving at speeds almost as fast as light.

Anyway, to the question at hand, I believe we still have a lot to learn and that there are a lot of things we arnt considering (involving our universe), we as humans have intelligence but Im sure there are boundaries as to what we can learn. Im sure there are things we cant see or comprehend that. As far as we know there could be forms of life from other planets flowing right through us, evolution (apparently) has made us the way we are so whats to stop another planet having some form of life that isnt what we interpret as physical. oops steered off a bit lol
Anyway, there are limitless possibilities to what is actually going on with our universe as a whole, we could all be way off but the universe isnt static and continually moving and changing so it wont be like this forever...
Sorry for the misinfomation. It would actually take a sun (star) the minimum of 10 times that of ours to become a black hole.
Sensi Super Skunk Reviewed by Sensi Super Skunk on . Does Space End? Think about this... If you travel and travel trillions of light years away from Earth, do you think there is an end to Space? Does Space go in every direction for infinity, like up, down, left, right? It is so strange to actually think about this question. Also, if it does go forever, why hasn't there been any contact with anything other than us here on Earth? Or do we come in contact with things from beyond Earth everyday and we just don't know it. You know what is cool also, human beings have Rating: 5
