Eventually, you get crushed into an atom. Even light doesn't survive a black hole.

I'm sure you'd end up killing yourself before that happens

Just a question: What would happen if you got sucked into a black hole? Is it a whole new universe? Or do you just go into the hole and when it explodes, die?

PS because of this topic I decided to redo my signature (It's an exploding planet, see?)

My dad has this book called "Death by blackhole". It's about all the ways the universe could kill us. I forget how my dad explained it, but when you go into a black hole, time slows down. As you fall in, if you flick a flash light every second, and people are watching, it will seem like every second at first. But as you get farther in, it becomes every 10 seconds. Then every minute, and so on.

You can read more about that in the book.

That would *! I mean, you would eventually die of starvation, dehydration, or something. But it would take many more years of pure boredom because of slowed down time

No. It would feel like reall time to you. It would just feel slow for everybody else outside of it. So you wouldn't die of starvation or dehydration, but you would die by being stretched into strands of spaghetti by the immense gravity.

What are your thoughts on this machine. Now I haven't watched the news today (oh well, I'll just do poorly in CEFL XD), but apparently tomorrow they are booting this machine up. Now they actual recreation won't happen until October.

What is it?
The LHC is supposed to recreate the big bang. It takes particles and tries to get the dark matter (something smaller than atoms). It is in Switzerland and 17 miles long. People speculate it will cause a black hole that will envelope the Earth despite the Scientists who are workign on it saying that no harm could/will be done.

Note: I haven't actually found super credible resources- just YouTube and another site (a while back). And CEFL is the Current Events Football League.

I don't see what the fuss is about us dying. There are trying to prove the Big Bang theory. If they do, they might even make a mini world 

Just to point this out, dark matter isn't just matter smaller than an atom. It really is Anti-Matter, or the opposite. Its extremly rare and one gram of the stuff would blow a city block. Oh, and it explodes when it comes in contact with regular matter. Great for bombs, if we can get a steady source for it.

Dark matter exerts no influence except gravity. Anti-matter is not the same as dark matter-and if you think that's confusing, wait till you find a list of all particle names!

P.S. Hooray that the accelerator is finally open! Nerds like me appreciate it! Also, hooray for giving a positive spin on things, Bluestribute. (No pun intended. Not that you'd get it anyway...)

No, atom rotation... not very funny i know... [laughs weakly and gets beaned with tomato]

Hmmm… I'd love to chit chat about this (literally because I find it fascinating) but I gotta do some homework. Lol, I'll probably still be here though…

Yay, form the Astrogeek Union!!!

I'll join, where do we sign up?

During art today the art teacher brought this mysterious machine up. We had some extra time. He added some more details:

There is only the slightest chance that a black hole could possibly happen.
It's all in the name of science.

There you have it!

ill join...wHat is it?

Oh, ahm... Should I make an official thread?
Today I got a constellation poster assignment in Science-I'm doing Lyra.
Are there any telescope owners on Scratch?
Me, I have an 8" Dob which I nicknamed "Triton".

Also, can I join the Astrogeek Union? Pleeease?

That is SO COOOOL!!! Sure you can join... [embarrassed smiley who is embarrassed about my frequent use of SQUARE BRACKETS]

Make a project, thread, anything about this union thing
