Blackholes & time

This is a very interesting article. Not to get all Donnie Darko or anything but it's strange to think that the fabric of time can "unravel".

Question

What, no one knows about The Star Gate?

Isnt Time in a Continuim constantly?

2005, the warmest in Earth History and is caused by Global Warming.

Ask the people who have been pounded by Snow and cold all over the Earth!

A lot of surmising go on by the Scientific Commuity and still have no idea of what it is all about.

Oh, didnt someone just think they found a New Planet in our Solar System?

Every few years, however, something--scientists aren't sure what--triggers a sudden binge fest on the part of the black hole, causing it to guzzle down most of matter in the disk within a period of only a few months.

LOL maybe the black hole got dumped by her boyfriend.

I find anything related to astronomy/physics fascinating but I know almost nothing about it.

How do you love something you don't understand?

Where in her post did she say that she did not understand math & science?? You can understand something and not be good at it. I understand the rules of soccer, but I'm not good at it. May people understand that Pi=3.14 to infinity, but they couldn't begin to calculate it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't interest them to study it.

Your reasoning skills leave much to be desired.

I hear all the famous mathematicians and scientists didn't understand math and science but are good at those subjects.

I believe it's your reading-comprehension skills that leave something to be desired.

Ok, let me put it this way.... What if those mathematicians you were talking about LOVE football. They know and understand all of the rules of the game, however they couldn't throw a football 2 feet to save their life. Can they not love football then because they are not good at it???

OH HOLY CRAP. If you want to talk about my reading comprehension, I'm just going to let you straight up know that you are about as dumb as a sack of rocks in a special ed class.

Listen, you can appreciate a performance.

Football and mathematics are NOT THE SAME.
