For all you yogi's....Johan per usual, your input would be appreciated, I know the tagline got your attention.
I'm going to quote it straight from the book, because it sounds stupid coming out of my mouth...bear with me I need it for my point...
"...according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, there must be an infinite density and space-time curvature within a black hole. At this singularity the laws of science and our ability to predict the furture (through cause and effect analysis) would break down. However, any observer who remained outside the black hole would not be affected by this failire of predictability, because neither the light nor any other signal could escape the gravity of the singularity. This led Roger Penrose to propose the cosmic censorship theory, which might be paraphrased as 'God abhors a naked singularity.' In other words, the singularities produced by gravitational collapse occur only in places, like black holes, where they are decently hidden from outside view by an event horizon."
-Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time
What this is saying in a nutshell is that the point of which is usually the center of a black hole and a decent size around it are not governed by either physics or time. Nothing can be detected at a certain point around this center because nothing can escape it, not even light. Don't forget, this is straight up SCIENCE. The man who wrote this quote is considered the most brilliant physicist alive. For those of you uninterested in physics, you'd know him as the weird looking guy in the wheelchair that talks with a computer.
This idea brought me to a thought. If you believe in God, then you must believe that God must have a reason for everything, even black holes. Without a reason for it's existence, why would God make it in the first place? If it is impossible to observe what is inside a black hole without going into one (which even if you did, it would be impossible to ever get out or tell anyone what you saw), it brought me to wondering why all the secrecy? Why put something in front of us, allow us to see it, yet not allow us to see why or how it works, especially when what is inside of it is unlike anything most of us could even begin to fathom.
Jeff and I were mulling it over one day during a commerical, and I came to the conclusion that the in the end, there are only two outcomes, universe expands until every star dies out, or universe starts shrinking and collapses on itself (big bang 2?). The only things that make so much force that they will actually dictate the fate of either outcomes are black holes. Long story short, I find it ironic that the fate of the universe boils down to a bunch of chaotic masses we cannot (are not allowed to?) observe in any fashion. Is this science....or God putting the black box over the private parts of creation?
Hope this provides some brainfood for those daydreamers out there...comments welcome as usual. I know you people are reading this, don't be shy about responding, my respect goes up for those who ponder the same....

and time might be a bit wierd there but I guess it exist in some fashion.
Some things probably just are the way they are and maby we will never be able to explain why.
