Yes, you know the end of something that you don't understand 70% of at best. Dark energy... oh, and I guess dark matter as well.

Gotta go with bkadoctaj here. There are a few hypothesis regarding how the universe will end, but nothing is quite certain yet. The "Big Crunch" hypothesis seems rather unlikely though, seeing as the universe is expanding exponentially. The "Big Rip" seems more likely. That is, the universe will peter out to a big cold nothing.

But again, that is not a certainty as of yet. Still mucho research to be done

The term black hole is really a misnomer. It's not a hole. It's an object with mass that just so happens to have a fuckton of gravity (I know I'm objectifying gravity :\ sorry), so much that not even light can "jump" off the object. It just gets absorbed into it. Think of it like a ball of playdough, and you throw some crumbs at it and they get stuck in the playdough and can't fall off / get out of the playdough. What you're describing sounds more like a wormhole or something heh.

Would it theoretically be possible that the light is not absorbed, but rather bent "centripetally"? In other words, does light become invisible when bent by such intense mass?

That would be awesome, time would slow and I would maybe have enough time to get my nanites functioning before the world as we know it was crushed into insignificances to become the god of this universe!!11!!!1!!one!!1!one!!1!

Hmmmm, there are alot of misconceptions about black holes here.

You can't simply wikipedia it either. Modern physicists are way to pretentious to tell the truth.

Black holes are not even remotely proven. Alot, and I mean ALOT is assumed and guestimated when even trying to model a black hole. It is entirely conceptual and no "real" physics is ever involved here.

But what if these black holes were so far apart that its only pulling slowly. Since we have gravity galaxies will be pulled altogether into a black hole.

Crazy in'nit?
that is a crazy thought man. i'm always thinking of shit like this.

Well Math proves that

1) Space, not just the distances between objects is expanding with an increasing acceleration

2) Mass IS Energy, just in a different form.
I have once tripped out so hard that I saw Energy Converted to Mass By Fission!!

3) There are more stars in the sky than Grains of Sand on all of the beaches in the World.

The mass isn't intense. It's the density and gravity of the object are intense. The gravity is so intense it never stops increases the density. Anything that lands on the black "hole" never comes back off it. I would say the light becomes recycled in the mass of the blackhole, to later be re-recycled when the blackhole explodes from having such a high density. I think some black holes do explode, someone correct me if I'm wrong though. To me it woudl make sense that they would explode (or would it be implosion?) from having such a high degree of gravity.

I don't really understand what you're saying about light either. Are you trying to say that hte light doesn't actually "crash" into the black hole but rather continues to travel around it, as if it's orbiting the blackhole? If so, some light DOES orbit it. but if you get too close to the blackhole then you totally succumb to it's gravitational force, crash into it, and become one with the blackhole. Re-read my playdough analogy I think it was pretty good.

Space is nothing. Nothing cannot expand.
And I really hate this statement (3). It cannot be proven. I like to fight it by saying there are only about 6000 stars in our sky on a nice night and more grains of sand than that in my hand (topic usually comes up on a beach naturally) And when they say universe I remind them about sand dunes, deserts, mountains, the bottom of the ocean, etc etc. I'm a firm believer that there really isn't more stars in the universe than grains of sand on our planet.

Do you really believe that you can see the entire universe from your one point of view on earth???

Next time you are outside during a full moon on a clear night, observe the size of the moon when it is overhead. Now look at a small region in the sky that is 1/10 of the size of the moon. You see nothing, not a single star in that region.


Now call up your friend Hubble Telescope, he is watching that same 1/10 section of the sky also. This is what he sees:








In that tiny region of the sky, 1/10 the size of the moon, there are about 10,000 galaxies. The average galaxy has about 150,000,000,000 stars. The entire sky is about 12,000,000 times larger than 1/10 the size of the moon. So a rough estimate of the number of stars in the observable universe is...

10,000*150,000,000,000*12,000,000 = 18,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars
