Probably, but it would take a fifillion years.

So that could be the end of the world?

[ninty]

the world will end LONG before the galaxy could collapse in on itself.

The Sun is only going to last another 5 billion years, so when that happens, the earth will essentiually be swallowed up when the sun becomes a red giant. And if you think humanity is going to last even a million years, then we have a lot of work to do. Unless we start to spread out to other planets soon, I doubt humans on earth will be around very long.

Whats kinda funny is that Im studying all this stuff in school right now.

i think we will be traveling to other planets in a couple more centuries, lets just hope religion doesnt wipe us all out in some retarded zealous war along the way........ALLAH AKHBAR!

Black holes will be the end of time. They are constantly absorbing "dark matter" the colorless fluid like matter we humans arbitrarily refer to as "space". dark matter is what separates masses. When the black holes have absored all the dark matter, there will be a gnab gib, the opposite of the big bang. All matter will compress into a microscopic speck.

[ninty]

Dark matter hasn't even been proven, althought it is very likley. And I don't know if Dark matter will take up all of space, or if it would come in clusters.

And basically what your saying is the big band is a natural event, yes? Meaning it happens over and over again. Once matter compresses, it will eventually rapidly expand again in another big bang in some other time billions of years from now.

Anyway, I don't think there will be any collapse. It has been shown that outer galaxies are increasing in speed due to their doppler red shift.

Basically there are three things that can happen.

1) Galaxies continue to increase speed and distance from one another and eventually galaxies will be so far away from one another that travel to them would take millions or billions of light years.
2) Galaxies slow down and remain in their place and no expansion or retraction is experienced.
3) Galaxies rapidly retract into a single speck.

I think 1 is the most likley from the information we know now.

And remember that these black holes are tiny compared to the relative massiveness of the universe. In order for the black holes to swallow everything up, many millions of galaxies would have to combine. I don't see that happening.

T-48 minutes until the probe "Deep Impact" is launched. If anyones interested, you can watch the launch live here:

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/

It'll probably happen around 1:15pm eastern.

Deep Impact will smash a hole in an comet by plowing a rod into it to create a crater and another probe will fly by and take pictures and readings.

Edit: launch is 1:47 eastern.

You always here questions like ... What are black wholes made of? Why are they black? Yaatta yatta yatta...

I belive black wholes are comprised of the stuff it attracts. Black wholes are similar to the hair stuck in your bath drain. The black whole was formed by colliding materials. After the object gained more mass than everything around, it began to be the source of all gravity in a certain area. Nothing around could form any bigger or more mass because the black whole set the limit because objects of higher mass attract smaller objects. Black wholes aren't some rift or a whole in the universe.

The reason i believe they are small is that they have so much mass a molecule can rip through the surface of the black whole and manage to reach the center or the perfect slot between other molecules.

They're black because its the color in which light does not exist. I don't think black wholes don't have light, but once light reaches its gravitational field the energy is absorbed. Therefor the black whole doesn't have light, but it has the energy from the light.


Shit like this interest me to ninty. Anyways, don't take any of this for fact, just theories.

oh yes, I forgot. the universe will end in one of two ways: the compression into an infantesimel speck, like I said before, or universal expansion continues until atoms are so far apart that life and matter can no longer function.

There is no light in a black Hole, they absorb light. thats why they are black, they dont reflect light. Matter that is sucked into them is stretched into spagghetti like strands of molecules, strecthing for millions of lightyears.

You know, its interesting. we can now see light from the beginning of the universe. the light took 400 billion years or however long, the entire life of the universe, to travel from its origin point to us. we can see how the universe began. the episode about this from the documantary series "Universe" with john hurt narrating is all about this. really interesting you should watch it.
