‘Young’ black hole is nearby, NASA says; doorway to a new universe? Feb. 13, 2013 | 2:30 p.m. A supernova remnant may contain the most recent black hole formed in the Milky Way galaxy, according to NASA. (X-ray: NASA/CXC/MIT/L.Lopez et al; Infrared: Palomar; Radio: NSF/NRAO/VLA )

Asteroid 2012 DA14 is bearing down on Earth, rattling nerves and making sci-fi fans’ eyes light up. But the cool science news doesn’t stop there. Researchers believe they may have spotted the youngest black hole in the Milky Way galaxy, and — from scientists’ point of view – it’s not far away.

When it comes to black holes, it can be hard to differentiate the science from the science fiction. Remember Nikodem Poplawski’s 2010 theory — that our universe is within a black hole — which is within another universe altogether. That sounds like Disney’s 1979 film “The Black Hole.”

I am filled with hope and optimism at the thought of this brave new universe! Does Obama have a plan to push our planet into the black hole so that we can all experience the Change we deserve?

I think that all readers drawn to this thread had the exact same idea, but were working on a novel way to express themselves.

You done good!

Ah come on. They do this stuff all the time on TV.

Maybe Hussein will spend $500 million to see if this can work. He’ll send some ambassador through first. Then tell us he did everything he could to save him.

Why not launch a few Islamaturds in there—see if they can find their 70 virgins.
