I haven't read all the posts so i'm not sure if it has been brought up, but don't electrons get compacted with the nucleus of an atom under the gravity in a black hole?
I'm sure i read that somewhere.

Actually that was the original conclusion I had when I was making this thread. I never read about it but it seems that the black hole may pull electrons into the nucleus.

Then there would be the assumption that the nucleus could survive the crunching of the Black Hole as an intact entity. But that rules out the singularity that is supposed to exist in Black Holes.

We all know that there is a singularity in black holes, it sucks you through to the other universe that is ruled by apes.

Yep; that's gotta be it [:)] I saw it on TV the other day.

The singularity as a mass of infinite density is rather hard to believe. You see if the matter was being compressed into an infinitely small volume then all black holes would be the same size. But that is not the case. Refer: Schwarzschild radius.

Some sub-atomic particles are still alive in the black hole [revarrow] Hawkins Radiation.

I think that no one can ever know what goes on inside a Black Hole. About the only thing anyone could do is come up with a self-consistent theory that doesn't violate observations. But then there is no way to determine which of any two such theories might be correct.

You sound like you are giving up. But I think we will know. I would be glad to help.

I gave up trying to understand the innards of Black Holes long ago [:)] But I like to see other peoples hypothesis about it.

You know, I think I've seen that one?
Planet of the apes?

Quite good to, realistic I thought.
But there are some calling our universe a 'White hole' isn't there.
As we live in it, sort of.

If one thinks so.
And if so there is a connection through our 'black holes'

Thinking of what you said Lsu, does it need to suck to be a black hole?

Ah, sort of missed the whole last page here.
I should really try to remember to look before that 'leap'.

That's okay; when contemplating Black Holes we're all wondering around in the dark I suspect.
