B2) Any scientist will tell you the center of a blackhole = infintie density.  Infinite Gravity too...

http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/010912a.html

makes 400X earth's gravity look downright silly.

Density isn't the same as gravity and isn't directly related to gravity in any way. Also I think it is impossible to have infinite density because density is the measurement of the amount of matter in a given space. density=mass/volume. You can't have an infinite amount of matter in a defined amount of space. That matter, once it gets to a certain point is going to require more space.

Gravity is directly related to an objects mass. Therefore if you have a defined mass, you will have a defined gravitational force. That means you can't have infinite gravity without infinte mass. You can't have infinite mass without infinite space. I am no scientist, but this is the conclusion I come to using the science I have learned.

That's all well and good.  Except the astrophysisit in the link i posted disagrees with you.

(They mention the whole infinite gravity thing there too.


He's talking about the singularity in the center of a black hole, not the black holes themselves. A singularity is a point in space, not an object like a black hole is. Black Holes have a defined mass and occupy a defined space. We know how to measure the mass of a black hole. We have different classifications of black holes based on their mass. There is none of that for singularities because we don't know what they are. I don't know if that link can be considered right seeing as a singularity isn't governed by our laws of physics. We don't know what laws govern it, so we don't know what it is or what it is made of. Your link is an educated guess, but just that, a guess.
