Seriously people... what is it about even mentioning the words "Black" and "Hole" and you people start thinking it's acceptable to discuss "infiite length" and "Time fabric distortions"? Not that I'm not a huge supporter of abstract theology, but there's a time and a place. I can't even find a place to get in a word about this subject without hearing "Space-Time distortion", let-alone actually sit down and have a reasonable physics discussion. Interestingly enough peoples perception of cosmological entities is such to believe that the laws of physics are instantly repealed when dealing with these things. Guess what people? They're not! Just because you watch so many god D*mn sci-fi movies doesn't mean you know diddly-sh*t about astro-physics. Like the belief that black holes are infinite in mass, and that all objects within are stretched infinitely? Where the hell did that come from? A black hole has the same definable mass as the object that spawned it, only concentrated into a very small size. As for the infinite stretching, I'll admit that there are alot of things we don't know about this topic, but denying the existence of the completely obvious tidal gravitational forces? And finally, the thing that irks me most... Black holes distorting time? It's not phokking possible! Time is an abstract human concept created to aid us with every-day life. Without it, we would undoubtedly fall into anarchy, but it's not a physical thing! That's like saying if you believe hard enough you'll turn into a cabbage. Not that I might not try to prove that you will, but now I"m in a literal physics minded mode, and I say time cannot be altered!
There, I think I'm done. If anyone takes the trouble to read this, and wouldn't mind a discussion of /actual/ physics, then it would be very welcome!

If you know more than me in any subject, it can't possibly be a relevant subject.
