I wish I had a pet black hole.
Or maybe I could use it as a power source instead, like the Romulans.

 

I don't think black holes can work as a power source. Doesn't it just suck everything into a singularity?

Besides, it even punture the space-time and in this world of 4D where time only goes 1 direction, you might just end the world we know as it is if you mess with it. :P

But if it works in Star Trek, it must work in real life. :P

 

Sure why not.

well, when Sun starts to run out, it will expands out, that will probably engulf earth, I'm looking it up as I'm writing this.

As for blackhole, I've always thought there's only 1 in each spiral galaxy. and the size of it dedicated how big the galaxy is (bigger blackhole will be needed to move the whole galaxy with dark matter/energy), *shrugs*, I'm not exactly sure, but when it gets to that many stars colliding, it intrudes into the realm of chao theory and god knows what will happen.

*edit*
you are right, Sun does have 5 more billion years to go. I'd say 4.6, before it goes crazy with Carbon-burning.

 

4.6? Are you kidding? It's going to be at least 4.8. Anyone care for a wager?

^ Yeah I found out that if there are 2 black holes they emerge to create even a more massive one. That is how supermassive black holes were formed by two regular black holes emerging then 2 more then 2 more until it was very large. That choas theory is interesting I don't know why I have never heard about it before now. I think something similar to a type IA supernova would happen if two stars collided just on a smaller scale because there isn't a white dwarf in the equation.

 with that many stars and gravitational fields, Chao theory is the only way we can use, and since we aren't smart enough to compute it, we are pretty much screwed. lol

 if two stars collide head-on, yeah, it will unleash something in the magnitude of a massive supernovae, anyone anywhere near it would die instantly from the shockwaves. And it will probably happen almost everywhere you look if M31 and Milky Way collides. It's going to be awesome, before you die. lol

It's interesting though, when a blackhole takes in planet/light, it transfers mass into energy and where will that be stored? and since you can't destory energy, it has to come out somewhere eventually, and we have never observed such a massive amount of unleashing energy.

 Yeah very interesting. Well actually data can't be destroyed. Everythin matter energy,dark matter, and dark energy is data and data can't be destroyed except in the event of a black hole. The energy in the data in the black hole is destroyed but in an alternate universe it isn't which explains how it could be destroyed in a black hole without breaking the law that data can't be destroyed. So yes energy could be destroyed if its introduced to a singularity but it isn't destroyed because of the alternate universe. SO somebody watching matter/energy go into a black hole  sees it being destroyed but the matter/energy if sentient wouldn't to itself be destroyed.  Very very complicated It took 2 months before I grasped the concept of it after reading books and watching documentaries. I wish they put everything you learned on tv its so much easier to learn with diagrams and people explaining it that reading.

FACT: Dark Matter is traveling through everything in this universe.

FACT: Scientists are trying to discover what Dark Matter is by freezing the hardest substance on Earth in hundreds of underground labs tat are at elast 70 feet below the surface of the Earth.
