pssst, check out the spoiler forum

Yeah I just went in there before you posted... how this is a 'spoiler' I'm not sure, but it sucks that they cut it. I saw the files so I was curious

It makes sense. You couldn't put a blck hole in a system because then the system would no longer exist.

Susuaran.

Life is what happend to you when you're busy making other plans.

Did you complete the SP campaign? It might be something you saw there at the end!!!

All I saw was a bright light and nomad ships that weren't there suddenly appeared and got sucked in.

Oh and black holes don't suck everything in. Go read a physics book. Black holes only 'suck' anything in that falls in it's regular sized gravity well. If the earth turned into a black hole (Became ultra-dense) we'd still experience regular earth gravity. We'd be falling, but it doesn't have a gravity well the size of our solar system. Oh, and there's a black hole near Cygnus, I believe, and a supermassive one in the center of our galaxy.

Another interesting point about Black holes:

The smaller the gravity well, the more intense the pull once you're inside. Supermassive black holes are relatively weak.

Some people say I drink too much, I say I'm sober too often.

Another interesting thing is they say time moves much slower near a black hole, like if you spent 100 years circling one only 1 year would pass everywhere else or maybe its the other way around, I dunno I havn't watched discovery channel in a while. All I know is time is distorted inside their pull for some reason or another.

another interesting thing about black holes is that they have an escape velocity that exceeds the speed of light.

The theory goes that the gravity of a black hole is so powerfull that it actually sucks in not only light, but also time.
You can read a lot of interesting things if you are curios, just search the net

What's funny is the 'black hole' screenshot is horribly wrong...

You wouldn't even see the black hole, just a warped image of the stars behind it. This is because light from behind it gets bent around and hides the black hole.

I think the reason is that it bends the fabric of space, because it exists in mulitple places at once. And that picture looks pretty right from what I've seen of other pictures, except the big black ball in the middle. The red thing is the accretion disc, and the blue thing is a stream of energy from destroyed matter.

Hmmm..

Nice to see my initial question gathering speed as they say...

Thanks JTCurry5 - fixed dodgy URL - it should now work OK.. (my bad)!
