But "green hole" just doesn't have that spooky unknown mystery feel to it.

...."if a car was as fuel-efficient as these black holes, it could theoretically travel more than a billion miles on a gallon of gas"...... Yeah, but it would eventually suck everything within five hundred thousand miles of it into it, and spit them out ten million miles from where they wanted to go.
What good would that be?

What will those "boffins" come up with next?

If we are paying those "brains" to come up with this stuff, I want them to give me the MPG ratings for a Hummer worm hole.

For the love of Pete, get the black hole hybrid cars on the market RIGHT NOW! At 1 billion mpg, I will laugh at $4 gasoline.
How hard could this be? Obviously BIG OIL is blocking this technology.

The heating effect that keeps stars from forming means that a galaxy will last much longer than previously thought.
And you guys whining about the gas mileage and stuff are driving the wrong vehicle to start with. You need a Galaxy.

So when's my truck going to run on green holes?This has been investigated and found to be largely impractical for personal transportation devices. True, the blackgreen hole is incredibly efficient, but with the equipment necessary to contain (via magnetic fields) and safeguard (wouldn't want a bunch of the green holes losing containment and end up cruisin through the earth, slowly devouring it) the aparatus, your car would be approximately 5 times bigger than a H1 Humvee. Roads would need to be widened somewhat to accomodate them.
Grants have been applied for investigation on the practicality of using these power sources in conjunction with new advances in matter transmitter technology.
I'll keep FR updated as we bring these systems on line.

add this to the 'theoretical bs ping' And your personal expertise to back up that asinine statement is...?
Or, do you base your remark on a "stuck on stupid" misinterpretation of Genesis?

If in fact they are able to determine the efficiency of matter to energy transition... Could they not now be able to determine with some degree of accuracy what size the true elemental building block of matter truly is?
