I don't know why "everyone" keeps saying they're going to create a black hole. There's just not enough mass on/in this whole planet to create one. I'm not a physicist, but I was under the impression that gravity and mass were related. Everything has it's own gravity, the more massive it is, the stronger gravity it has. You need the equivalent mass of a freaking star to even get close to the mass required to start a black hole.

If a gravity well is anything like things that occur in nature ie. tornado, hurricane, or even water that goes down the drain (rotational direction depends on which side of the equator your on) then I'd guess that a tiny black hole would be quite hungry to swallow the first things (matter/mass) it sees. It occurs to me that all cyclones in nature start tiny and build in size as matter is sucked up. But then who says "space" or even the physics we're toying with has anything to do with nature?

Here we were having a nice little point/counterpoint, and suddenly superstition is dragged into the conversation. I considered several witty retorts about non-scientific fools and irrational belief systems, but it seems we're already past the P&R prohibition limit, and anything I said would most certainly be well past the line.

If we can keep the point/counterpoint rational, I suppose we could go on, but otherwise we'll have to close the thread. A pity, really.

Most scientists today do not believe in evolution. In fact schools have now changed their teachings concerning that. You cannot continue a debate on physics and theology without understanding how both are intertwined. It's quite human and very natural for the "scientific mind" to go blind and dismiss the rest. The purest scientific mind believes anything is possible (science+time=anything possible) But that simply is untrue without restraint and the understanding that there are things that can never be solved or reasoned away using the scientific method.

Uh, who said anything about evolution?

As far as schools and what is taught, curriculum is all about politics, and has very little to do with scientific methods.

In regards to as theology, I was attempting to steer this away from P&R, apparently that is what is futile here.

End of thread!
