Question is how does this affect the force vector of the black holes gravitational field. The way I see it is, it would have a leveling effect on the gravitational force vector dependent on he range of the orbiting object rom the singularity. nbsp;Just think about it.

I vote for (B) 'The Conglomerate' because t doesn't sound like a song with a lot of verses that nobody cares about. 'The Conglomerate' sounds like some huge mass of ---, impersonal, very impressive, and beyond anyone's control - am I right?! And isn't that more appropriate?

    Updated: 2010-07-31 02:26:36
     o i was thinking about how scientists say that the expansion of the universe is accelerating over time. and i thought about what else has been happening over time: black holes sucking up matter. there was another thread recently that asked if our universe came from a black hole in another universe. what if black holes lead to another dimension instead (one of the 11 we supposedly have). theory says that a black hole crushes matter to a singularity, right? what if all that matter is being crushed into another dimension? and the effect of this is dark energy. the more matter that gets sent to this other dimension, the stronger effect it has. hence, expanding acceleration. any takers?

    Updated: 2010-07-14 01:03:48
    Could the magnetic pinch of the polar jets funnel Hawking Radiation through the interaction of magnetic field lines? To explain the reason for this question is, if black holes can have a spin in excess of "C"  nbsp;momentarily, s a result of an ncrease in angular momentum, could possibly orm an event horizon between the two hemispheres, which ould ossibly produce  Dirac String coupling between the two magnetic moments through the singularity between the two hemispheres of the black hole.
