    Black; White; Gray and Supermassives

    Please keep in mind that I don't need lectures here, I pay for those from institutions I trust and your word has no merit without citation. Also we want to keep things simple so the majority of us can keep up. What I want is layman speculation on the possibilities and threats Black holes present and the implications. Think of this thread as kind of an idiot-think-tank. I'm not a Quantum Physicist nor an Astrologist...I'm a curious Horticulturist who has dabbled in both.

    There are a plethora a theories about these phenomenon with few recognized facts, I simply want mixing of the ideas. What we know, simply put in laymens terms, is this: Black holes are existing universal phenomenon that consist of a silhouette called an event horizon, a gravitational singularity of matter that exerts untold influence on matter and energy. We also have reason to suspect that at the center of our galaxy near Sagittarius A there exists what we've termed a Supermassive black hole. A beast that has about 4.31 million solar masses compressed in a 44 million km diameter sphere. Most likely what is holding this galaxy together and or what holds other galaxies together as well.

    My questions are...what are the implications? Do you believe that these holes go anywhere? The idea of a White Hole suggests there is, in another universe, reverse black holes spewing out chopped up matter and energy. Do you buy that? The quantum mechanics of black holes suggest they should shoot out radiation, yet Stephen Hawking claims the amount the put out should never vary no matter the conditions of what it consumes. Some people even believe it's hypothetically possible to navigate a black hole and spill out the other side, provided you avoid the singularity. Are these portals? Are they simply recollecting matter? Does the theory of white holes explain the ever expanding Universe? What could possibly be beyond spacetime?

    Forgive the laymen-like ignorance of this thread, but discuss...

    Fear not, this is not...the end of this world.
