=Black Holes=

This wikispace I've created is about black holes. [|Black holes] are giant masses that have enormous gravitational fields that light cannot even escape. Black holes even cut off matter from the rest of the universe and once you get in, there's no coming put. It is possible to get out of a black hole but only by doing the impossible; like having an infinite amount of fuel for the ship, and even then, it would take longer than a life time to get out and to escape the gravitational field. Black holes can be almost any mass, the less mass, the more intense the gravity strength is. Black hole masses can go as big as [|millions of times bigger than a star] and are usually at the center of most galaxies, even in the Milky Way; and can go as a lot [|smaller than the mass of a star]. Something that is approaching a gravitational field feels something called //s////paghettification.// Spaghettification is when you come to a gravitational field and you feel like you are being stretched out, that's because one part of your body is closer to other parts of your body and masses as big as black holes have enough of this power to disform any object. An object in the gravitational field experiences time that has been slowed down, and even someone outside of the field can see that the object has slowed down, clocks run slowly in the field as well. I don't know about you, but I think that that is uber sweet :P, even just the fact that u feel yourself slowing down is enough by itself but clocks running slowly in the field..That just blows my mind! Stellar mass black holes are created by several collapsed stars, move around just like stars do and there is a chance, an extreamly small chance, that a stellar mass black hole could pass through our solar system. It is expected to pass through in around 19 years, and the approximate time the sun will become a red giant is, 9 years and kills every living thing on this earth, 10 5 x 10 so it's highly unlikely that any type of human that may live up until the point of the sun becoming a red giant and surviving it and keep living to be swallowed by the black hole that could come through; maybe I shouldn't have said highly unlikely when a better word for it is impossible. Some questions I have is: What if one black hole sucks up another one? If that actually does happen, do you think it could cause an explosion that releases everything both holes have engulfed? And why does time slow down when your in the gravitational field? Does that mean you'll keep drifting off in the emptyness of the black hole while time is slow? Would time return to normal once you enter the black hole? Or maybe even sends you back/forward into time? One last one, are black holes like spheres that you can go all the way around and basically see the same thing, or is it 2D? I have plenty more questions but I don't want to drown you with them so hopefully I may have got you interested into wanted to learn more about black holes.
