Immense Controversey, as Scientist's Break the speed of light.

Say HELLOOO to infinite dsl!

Black Holes aren't as rare as you think. The centre of the galaxy is supposedly full of them.

And Wormholes are to do with space curvature, and thinking in more dimensions than a normal person can. So I'm still right, because they're not gating anything in the example.

Black holes are just stars that you cannot see due to the fact that light is sucked in, it is amusing that somepeople seemed to think that it was a portal of some sort

As far as I knew they were singularities, meaning they are infinatly small, besides even if lest say an object had such a big mass that it could hold light back( wich is not possbilr, light just can't escape a black hole because it wraps space infinatly wich can only happen in a singularity) then the object would implode and create a singularuty.

On one interpretation it means that light will arrive at its destination almost before it has started its journey. In effect, it is leaping forward in time.

Who wrote this crap?

Not only that but how would you get to one of those black holes in the first place? You'd have to break the speed of light barrier just to reach one! Blackholes are extremely rare, and they require a massive star to go boom just to even create one, and even that sometimes doesn't do the job . Now the chances of a black hole appearing anywhere near us, never mind in the next star system is astronomically unlikely.

Plus anything to do with things in space that we have no ability to test is "theoretically possible" for instance it's theoretically possible that on the other side of a blackhole a race of evil cows that want to rule the universe exists, because we have no way of actually getting to a black hole to see. Hell, Blackhole's themselves are just theories. Have you ever been close to one?

I was just saying that most scientists "theorise" that wormholes don't exist & you wouldn't survive a trip through a black hole.

Well there substantill proof that supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies.

Well there substantill proof that supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies.

And how do you intend to get to the centre of the Galaxy? Yes the centre may be filled with them, but we have no means of getting to the centre of the galaxy, and it's very unlikely that the human race will ever have the ability to go that far, we'll kill each other off way before then.

Out here, on the relative "edge" of the galaxy you won't find many black holes anywhere close to where we are, plus black holes are just immensely dense singularities that have a gravatational pull so immense that the escape velocity required to escape that pull is faster than the speed of light, meaning light itself dissapears into one, meaning I don't see how you could possibly survive an encounter with one.

Like I said, we'd have to break the light barrier first, but at the rate we're going it'd take thousands of years of research without interruption to get anything the size of a ship to travel faster than light.
