closest black hole is at the center of our galaxy is my understanding. and no, we've never sent anything into it. way too far, takes too much time. the voyager crafts launched in the 70's just barely left our solar system.

i'm trying to give you a serious answer but keep losing my connection.

this is interesting. maybe in our lifetime it will be done... but there is still some very good information on what it might be like.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ricard Gears again.

I nominate kelju to dive in one & report back

What is this video from? Anybody know?

No one would bother trying to do that.

Nothing mad-made would survive the journey into a black hole. It would be destroyed long before that too, in the event horizon, the point of no return when the immense gravity of the black hole takes a hold on an object.

Black holes offer some of the most extreme physical environments known to man, we are no where near black hole exploration.

i love how he says "now" like ohhhh we aren't done yet.

Fufu beat me to it. Once you pass the event horizon nothing comes out. Transmitting anything back becomes impossible because the mass of the the blackhole would pull the transmissions right back into the hole.

This has nothing to do with other life forms, but it's a pretty sweet video and puts the size of Earth into perspective compared to the other planets in our solar system and then some of the largest stars in the known universe.

YouTube Video

I might have posted this before...

There was a documentary on the Discovery Channel called "Journey to the Edge of the Universe" and it was quite interesting. It was a 2 hour long show, I'm not sure if they have it broken up on Youtube or not.

Just to clarify the event horizon is the point where not even light is able to escape. some pretty crazy things have been proposed as far as space/time when it comes to black holes.

Yea I thought about that after a few minutes. It would be cool though if scientist could figure out a way to get inside one in my lifetime.




If it was discovered that there was another planet in our universe that harbored life, and civilizations far more advanced than ours, would you go?

@Scarface30 cool vid.

To get anywhere in space you have to bend it.

waste of time trying to travel by our current means

Even though I'm afraid of you ; you are wrong on this. It's understandable though. Stephen Hawkins proved otherwise. Radiation escapes. I think he proved it back in the 70s, maybe early 80s. Its named Hawkins' radiation.

Off the top of my head it deals in quantum mechanics, particles and anti-particles. there is a book authored by him, "Brief history of time'.

don't worry my friend. Einstein will be proven wrong one day.

Don't google it because it will just explain the theory. I will dig up the book or article i read if you are really that interested.

If I remember correctly it's x-ray radiation that black holes emit.

my understanding is we detect black holes by the disturbance in gravity not by anything they emit.

That wasn't directed at you....

I've seen this discussed on several science shows and they all come down to an agreed theory; you'd have to bend the very fabric of space using a wormhole. They say it is technologically possible, but not with today's measures.
That being said, in reference to aliens and other habitable planets, they just launched some sort of telescope far more powerful than Hubble, and it has spotted what is called the "Goldilocks Zone". This is an area about a trillion miles away that has a system similiar to ours and there is a very good likelihood that there is life. Possibly not what we call life, but it might be anything from prehistoric animals to evolved animals or organisms.
This leads me to think: why haven't they contacted us if they are further evolved than we are, and are we threatened by them?

Have you seen the movie Event Horizon?
