Black holes turned 'inside out'

Stargates won't work anymore

Quantum Physics fans will be scratching their
heads over this latest revelation for years.

I still reckon the "white mice" are to blame :confused:

    That's ok, at least space ships going faster than the speed of light and time travel are still real.

    hmmm.

    well on one hand it would be good if true.

    one of my favorite things to say is 'buying leads is like pouring money down the black hole' - meaning buying leads is like flushing money down the toilet. so with this, maybe the money will come back - or at the very least real leads will emerge somewhere.

    on the other, however this is very disappointing because i truly like the concept of there being an actual 'void' - an absolute state of peace in nothingness.

    whatever. unless you are a physicist, the news will not likely rock your world either way. since science fiction is more or less fiction at least in the present, who cares if it makes sense.

    Damn. That completely ruined my plan of shoving my ex GF into a black hole. Now she's just going to pop out in a couple of million years.

    It was quite a revelation when it was revealed that light had mass and was affected by gravity.
    Now information also has mass and is also affected? That Hawking brain is the one thing that I feel can be described as 'awesome'.
    34 years to revise an initial concept - that's dedication!

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
