    If it's any consolation, I seem to recall reading something similar and my brain is completely free of marijuana riddling.

    This will forever be a spurstalk classic.

    It's actually a check card for my bank account, but you can use it as a credit card. So it's not actually a credit card...........

    Death by a blackhole isn't painful, so I wouldn't mind it.

    Are you sure?

    Seems to me that because of the gravity/time distortions involved at the event horizon, you would be pulled for infinity before dying.

    Actually IIRC the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world would come in 2012. I read a whole thing on it that explained it without a bunch of cult-mythology and basically what it comes down to is that 2012 is the end of their calender- or great cycle, but that it just starts over again. It has more to do with the beginning of a new cycle or new epoch than it does the end of the world.

    (Caveat: these are the ramblings of marijuana riddled brain, desperate to convey knowledge based upon a trivial reading that took place several years ago)
    This is the most logical thinking because of the way the Mayan calender works. It is several sets of cycles. Each cycle within repeats. Why not the greater cycle? The interesting thing is tha accuracy of the calender vs. celestial cycles. There had to be lost intelligence we don't have today.

    What Happens if You Fall Into a Black Hole?
    The world's largest scientific instrument, the Large Hadron Collider, was switched on in Switzerland on Wednesday. A few people worried that the LHC would cause the world to be swallowed up by a black hole, especially when it starts to operate at full force in the spring. What would happen if you fell into a black hole?

    Your body would be shredded apart into the smallest possible pieces. Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, who wrote the definitive account Death by Black Hole, imagined the experience as "the most spectacular way to die in space."

    A black hole is a place where the force of gravity is so powerful that you would need to be traveling at a speed faster than the speed of light to escape its pull. Since nothing in the universe is faster than the speed of light, nothing that falls into a black hole can ever escape. The border at which gravity becomes strong enough to create that phenomenon is known as the "event horizon"; it marks the outer boundary of the black hole. (Until the 1940s, some scientists believed that matter crusted up on the event horizon and didn't fall in.)

    Closer to the center, gravity is even stronger. If you were caught by the pull of a black hole, you would be sent into free fall toward its center. The pulling force would increase as you moved toward the center, creating what's called a "tidal force" on your body. That is to say, the gravity acting on your head would be much stronger than the gravity acting on your toes (assuming you were falling head-first). That would make your head accelerate faster than your toes; the difference would stretch your body until it snapped apart, first at its weakest point and then disintegrating rapidly from there as the tidal force became stronger than the chemical bonds holding your body together. You'd be reduced to a bunch of disconnected atoms. Those atoms would be stretched into a line and continue in a processional march. As Tyson described it, you would be "extruded through space like toothpaste being squeezed through a tube." No one knows for certain what happens to those atoms once they reach the center, or "singularity," of a black hole.

    In a small black hole—like the one predicted by the LHC doomsayers—this dissolution would occur almost immediately. In fact, for all but the largest black holes, dissolution would happen before a person even crossed the event horizon, and it would take place in a matter of billionths of a second.

    The more matter—and people—a black hole gobbled up, the bigger it would get. That could have the effect of making it less spectacularly deadly. As a black hole increases in size, the differences in gravitational force inside become less dramatic. If you fell into a truly gigantic black hole, the rate of change—and resulting tidal force—might not be enough to rip your body apart until after you'd crossed the event horizon.

    If you fell into a large enough black hole, your last moments would be a little bit like being on the inside of a distorted, one-way mirror. No one outside would be able to see you, but you'd have a view of them. Meanwhile, the gravitational pull would bend the light weirdly and distort your last moments of vision.

    how do they know what heppens inside a blackhole if they never sent anything into it...

    All scientist have are a bunch of unproven theories about black holes they don't really know .

    What happens is that information goes in and it never comes out. It ends in a singularity of space time. The gravitational forces are powerful enough to break everything down into atomic pieces. That is as much as they know about what happens inside black holes and readily, scientists would admit to as much.

    All scientist have are a bunch of unproven theories about black holes they don't really know .
    Not true at all. We have enough observation and mathematical proof regarding black holes to have proven a lot about them. In regards to many aspects of black holes, our study and knowledge is far beyond theoretical at this point. That's the nice thing about the universe; we can observe it and 2+2 still equals four whether you're here or billions of light years away on the edge of a black hole. (unless you're Dostoevsky, anybody get it?) Anyway, it's like Stephen Hawking said in a Brief History of Time, "Black holes, ain't so black."

    And scientsists once thought the earth was flat.... things are subject to change, nobody has ever been to a black hole or the path of millions of miles on the way so they dont really truly no about one.

    I think you mistook that for the earth. If you were to manage to dig a whole straight through the equator you would eventually fall and end up on the other side, but you would then keep on falling over and over.

    Well, if suich a hole existed and in a vacuum, that's exactly what would happen. Also assuming you could drop in such a manner not to hit the sides.

    Actually, what I was refering to was the relativity of the matter. Maximum acceleration means minimum relative time, but as time slows to almost nothingness relative to time passing in the outside world. At the speed of light, time is infinate.
