I watched a very interesting TV documentary where Professor Brian Cox was talking about quantum singularities, and black holes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_holeLike the big bang theory, I have always thought you cannot make something out of nothing, so at the very beginning of our universe there must have been some sub-atomic particles which fused together in order to make atoms and create the big bang, or at the very least a tiny "pop" So if a black hole can swallow matter, in the form of planets and stars, and it doesn't even allow light to escape its tremendous gravitational pull, where does all the stuff it swallows go to? My theory is, a black hole is like the drainage spout on a house that takes the rain water away. At the other end it spews out the water into a drain. So it would make sense that all the stuff that goes into a black hole must come out somewhere else? Perhaps it goes to another part of the universe, or even into a new one? All I know is the event horizons and other stuff our scientists have discovered are fascinating, although I didn't fancy the bit where Professor Cox talked about if we fell into a black hole feet first, your feet would travel much faster than your head and you'd be stretched like a string of spaghetti. Let's just hope there are no big black holes near us, or will be for the foreseeable future!

Similar anomalies exist called 'White Holes', which do the opposite- they expel matter into this universe. My theory is that a black hole in this universe would link to a white hole in another- the link is often termed a wormhole. I'm sure you've read or seen science fiction stories where wormholes are used as a very fast way of travel from one place in the universe to another, as difficult as it would be to achieve.

I see black holes same as you Wood and also many scientists too. But I see like a washing machine running at full speed, But instead of the washing machine spinning draining washing of all water with gravity swinging them out word. I see black holes like them, but doing the reverse and both poles of a black hole beaning the jet stream out of both ends. If only one end of pole of a black hole would be active then it would just shoot off like a rocket and it would never form a vortex at all you see spinning or like a elastic band would just snap to another part of universe. Milky-way galaxy we live in has a black hole too, but it's sleeping as in not sucking stuff in anymore. Giving life for stars to form obeying around it It's a shame in about 4 or 5 billion years like a spinning top, we going to crash in to Andromeda galaxy which is going to be like a dance, but all stars will be swinging in all directions and the sleeping black holes will come active again at some point and form as one. And will have a new name for galaxy like adromidaway or something.

I'm sure you've read or seen science fiction stories where wormholes are used as a very fast way of travel from one place in the universe to another, as difficult as it would be to achieve. Yes, as seen in the TV show Star Trek Deep Space 9. I think it may have been Albert Einstein who said that, if you left our planet Earth in a space ship and blasted off from the north, after a lot of time had gone by your ship would come back again, but approach Earth from the south? Something to do with time and space being curved, and the universe like a huge ball. If the universe is expanding and the distance between galaxies is growing, leaving lots of empty space; then there must be an awful lot of empty space outside the range of our universe. So there could well be lots more universes beyond our own if space is endless and infinite. Makes you feel kinda small, like an ant perhaps in the universal shape of things, doesn't it. ;D
