You go in there and when you come out the other side it is the BIG BANG in another dimension. Our universe may be just like one bubble the dish water!

The black hole occupies a volume of space about the same size as our solar system but it affects a volume of space about 600 times the size of the whole Milky Way galaxy.Space/Time has got to be getting its' ass kicked in a big way around that bad boy.

Something doesn't seem right here.
Aren't black holes supposed to have a tremendous amount of mass for their size? I would think that a black hole as large as our entire solar system would be quite a bit more massive than a "mere" billion suns. Heck, even an ordinary star that was the size of our solar system would be more massive than that!

I would think that a black hole as large as our entire solar system would be quite a bit more massive than a "mere" billion suns. It is entirely possible that it has eaten well over a billion suns.
Something like this might create new theory and obliterate old ones. It could be the stellar nature's way of starting over.
Suck it all up and blow chunks on a big bang scale that creates a new universe at the expense of the old. The radiation from the bang could have the potential of taking us out as well in a stellar Tsunami.(assuming our galaxie is not gobbled up as well)
Some day a billion years hence, give or take a few hundred million years or so.
What we may be seeing, is the beginning of the end or some might see it as a new beginning.
