{On Topic Black Holes}

One step closer to a universal garbage chute. :)
Seriously folks, have you ever thought of the practical implications of blackholes or derived "physical anomalies"?
Bins that don't need to be emptied or radioactive waste dumps that don't release radiation to the area surrounding them.

Or a "reversable" black hole.
Put "infinite stuff" in, reverse and return on demand, sort of a flip-flop black/white hole.
Is it theoretically possible to focus a wormholes start and stop points to the same physical point in space/time?

Is it be theoretically possible (permitting we could get to a black hole) that an anti-gravity enclosure field could protect the contents from being compressed by a black hole, or does a white hole uncompress the output (presuming there is output) in a like manner and restore the object passing through to it's original state, therefore eliminating the safety measure?
Sort of like a cosmic tar-gzip/untar-gunzip. :)

{Now on to bending the topic}

Can any christians/jews/muslems/whathaveyou speculate on what a supreme being might want with black holes?
Are we a simple bacterium on the skin of said supreme being looking at pores in his/hers epidermis?
This would explain (in a somewhat twisted fashion) the theory of spacial surface tension.

{Now on to rant}

Why does finding black holes mean that scientists are trying to debunk religion?
You all seem to forget that we cannot "prove" anything about this universe once it leaves the realm of "hands-on".
We can speculate, postulate and hypothesise until we're blue in the face, and while we can get some great results (computers, cars, television and radio to name but a few), we also cannot disprove anything.

I cannot prove that god exists, but because I cannot find evidence to disprove him/her/it I therefore must at least acknowledge that there is room in this universe for him/her/it.
Theoretically I cannot disprove anything.
If I were to say that atoms spin in oblong orbits and have names like Bob or Paul, I cannot say I am right just because it's written down, nor can you say I'm wrong because there is no disproving evidence of such. :) Makes you think doesn't it.
Are we living on a planet in the orbit of a nucleus of an atom in a caffeine molecule in someone's giant coffe cup, and if we look harder at atoms, will we find infinitely small galaxies inside those atoms?
Does infinity exist and if so, is it a sort of pale blue?

It has been said that god created man, but speculated that man created god and suppose both are right.
We know not enough to say who is wrong and who is right.
We only know ourselves and our place in our own microcosm's, and while occasionally your microcosm may intersect along mine at some point in time (and for that matter what is time?) we cannot say what the consequences may be, we can only deal with the good and the bad and live our lives as best we can.

Thank you and good night/morning.
