An Unscientific Definition of Black Holes

Blogger Note: This blog was inspired by the Science Channel and comes by way of insomnia. I have no mathematics to back up any claims made on this blog :P

Ah, yes, black holes... one of the unintended consequences of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity (E=MC^2).

What are Black Holes?

According to most scientists and astrophysicists, black holes are unimaginably dense areas in space and time that have infinite gravity. These objects suck in all nearby matter, including light, and condense it into a singularity. Yes, that's right, one single point containing all matter ever sucked in.

Whoa, don't be ridiculous scientists and astrophysicists--that definition seems very wrong. It violates one fundamental principle of physics: information is never lost.

No, seriously, what are black holes?

Black holes are areas in space that bend space and time into the shape of a symmetrical wormhole (see modified figure 1, taken from bing.com/images).

   A Black Hole

A black hole does not suck and condense matter into a singularity.  Matter going through the outer walls of a black hole flow smoothly through the fabric of space and time, ie, matter can go from one side of a black hole to the other.

Some Implications of Black Holes

• The theory of relativity needs to be revised (no more 1/0 aka infinity!)
• We could actually be going through a black hole without even knowing
• Black holes are not destructive by nature
• Black holes are doors to new dimensions, other universes, or both
