Can I mod these bad boys to stay without dissappearing after so many turns? It would be cool if they stayed for the life of the game. DS9 anyone?
I'm not sure I understand why anyone would post "Black Holes are a Mystery" - Even Newtonian physics allowed for black holes (They knew the speed of light was finite, and they knew that potentially sufficient matter would have an escape velocity faster than light - so it was actually proposed before Einstein, the concept goes back to the late 1890's IIRC), and General relativity accounts for pretty much all their effects.
The only 'mystery' portion of black holes is that, as a singularity, we know they should be subject to quantum effects, and there is no quantum theory of gravity as of yet.
But the general concept of how they exist and interact outside the event horizon is hardly 'mysterious', and even internally behind the event horizon we have a 'pretty good' idea (Mathematically) of what's going on. The actual singularity where God divided by zero is beyond our mathematics as of yet, as is the prediction of the quantum effects, but by and large, we have a pretty strong grasp on the theory of a black hole structure.
Just sayin' - Jonnan
It's as if - time/space is warped to such an extent (infinity), that the mass no longer can occupy 'space'. The remaining mass of the Star that became the black hole not only was crushed to zero volume, but continues to stay crushed at zero volume forever (unless Hawking Radition is true, even then the amount of time it would take for a black hole to completely dissipate, would in essence make the current age of the universe look like the blink of an eye). Truly fascinating.
And just for fun, from Jonnans eloquent words above...
"But by and large, we have a pretty strong grasp on the theory of a black hole structure." - The words Jenna Casey spoke as the Terran Alliance developed the Black Hole Eruptor.
Yes, although scientists know that gravity is a "dent" in space, the actual mechanismas behind it are still relatively unknown. There are many theories, but no-one knows for sure...
THOSE ARE THE EXACT WORDS I WANTED TO HEAR!!!!!!
