Isaac Newton shares some blame for inventing gravity.

Just a big black object that collects other objects and grows.

Just like the federal government, and any other bureaucracy, given the chance.

The majority of supermassive black holes are dormant, meaning they are not actively consuming matter.

Tosh, after reading this statement I wonder about the
authors.

Black holes are never dormant. They may clear the space
around themselves, but the gravity never stops.

How do we know Black Holes sleep?

Yeah that’s right! Too bad that apple didn’t him in the head. Better yet if it had been a big rock. :-)

They say that no one knows what’s on the other side of a black hole and where and what would be on the other side. I think I know. You’d probably come out in the parking lot of some cheezy WalMart like department store in a run down neighborhood next to some old broad who is wearing Spandex pants, hair all done up in a horrible bee hive like style smoking a cigarette loading stuff into the trunk of a 1987 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and she’d be looking at you like “Where the f did you come from?’’ So much for the egg heads.

That may explain some of the people I’ve seen in Walmart parking lots.
