Hawking: Black Holes Mangle Matter, Energy
Source: Associated Press
DUBLIN, Ireland - Famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said Wednesday that black holes, the mysterious massive vortexes formed from collapsed stars, do not destroy everything they consume and instead can fire out matter and energy "in a mangled form."
Hawking's radical new thinking, presented in a paper to the 17th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation in Dublin, capped his three-decade struggle to explain an elemental paradox in scientific thinking: How can black holes destroy all record of consumed matter and energy, as Hawking long believed, when subatomic theory says such elements must survive in some form?
Hawking's answer is that the black holes hold their contents for eons but themselves eventually deteriorate and die. As the black hole disintegrates, they send their transformed contents back out into the infinite universal horizons from which they came.
Previously, Hawking, 62, had held out the possibility that disappearing matter travels into a new parallel universe within the black hole — the very stuff of most visionary science fiction.

I thought intergalatic travel was possible with wormholes or is there a difference?
keep hope alive |

I think I screwed up. It's supposed to be travelling to another universe, not another galaxy.
Different, but the same. |

| I recommend you all read Professor Hawking's (aka-the wheel chair guy)book entitled: A Brief History In Time" It talks about black holes, worm holes, etc. It's written very plainly and easy to read. Cheap too! |

Well according to the latest article that book is worthless now.
Dude, all you need is a DeLorean. |
