  1. Our planet?

    Not a chance. We live in a relatively quiet corner of the galaxy. I think the closest one to us is about 1,600 light years away in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way.

    Even the supermassive black hole at the middle of our galaxy is about 30,000 light years away.

    Haha aye, I meant our planet.

    Are new ones always forming throughout the universe? And could one not form in our galaxy?

  2. Certainly my good man.

    Well, despite the name, they're not black, they're practically invisible. The gravitational pull generated by a black hole is so immense that nothing can escape it, not even light. And light's the fucking fastest thing in the Universe. We only know they're there because of the way they interact with matter around them.

    A black hole is esentially the corpse of a star, which needs to be somewhere in the region of 20 times the mass of our sun. When the star is "alive", gravity pushes in and pressure pushes out, keeping a steady balance for the star to keep shining. When the star reaches the end of it's life, gravity slowly begins collapsing the material at the core of the star until it collapses beneath its own weight. The core now becomes a black hole. In the middle of what is left of the core, is a single point with zero volume and infinite density.

    Black holes consume EVERYTHING in their path. It's thought that there are supermassive black holes at the centre of every galaxy, including ours, which can be many millions of solar masses in size.

    Each black hole has an event horizon, a boundary where light and matter will, after crossing it, only continue inwards. After this point, nothing escapes.

    HTH.

    :)

    Is there any realistic chance one could destroy the planet ?
  3. Hopefully, that bitch has it coming. Haha

    I think that's just because its his birthday. He certainly has become a cold son of a bitch.

  4. Judging by the start of series 5 in the cafe im guessing Walt is being chaes by Hank

    Sent from my GT-I9100 using Pie & Bovril mobile app

    Yeah he's definetly on the run, you see him purchasing the AR--15 and he gives a fake story to the waitress. I really don't know what's going to happen
  5. Tried to edit my previous post on my phone and ended up deleting. Sigh. I was going to say, when you can pay for Netflix for 6 quid a month it seems silly spending like 20 quid on ONE boxset...and yeah, part 2 will be epic TV. I wonder what Hank is going to do. :lol:

    I think he'll play it cool to begin with. I had unbelievable seethe when I originally watched the finale, that's gave way to giddy excitement ????
  6. Nothing more than books, tv programmes and the like, which i've hungrily absorbed for years and years. I'm in no way qualified, which has shown on occason, but it's fascinated me for years. The enormity and power of it leave me in awe.

    Cheers for the nice words, mate..

    Yeah I know what you mean. I always laugh when religious people say the idea of a universe without a god as "boring". The universe is amazing and mysterious enough without needing an all powerful deity

  7. It would take tens, if not hundreds of years to terraform the moon. Firstly you'd need to pump millions of tons of co2 and water out there, then there's the problem of the plants needing day and night cycles, which they wouldn't get on the moon. Also, the moons gravitational field isn't strong enough to hold onto any gases or liquids we pump there.

    These are basic things you would have to encounter first of all as well as many, many others...

    Not according to Newt Gingrich :P
