Maybe its more like a pool drain the big guy pulled the plug out of. The pressure of stuff may be pushing the stuff towards region of lesser pressure. Or like f Pohl put out in the heechee series,could be a massive, many thousand sun black hole? (though there was a paper recently postulating a maximum size (by mass?) on black holes)
Teen Discovers Plastic-Decomposing Bacteria 209
ganelo writes to tell us that 16-year-old Waterloo Collegiate Institute student Danel Burd has made quite a stir with his plastic-eating bacteria discovery. For his efforts Burd won top prize at a Canada-wide science fair claiming a $10,000 prize and a $20,000 scholarship. "Tests to identify the strains found strain two was Sphingomonas bacteria and the helper was Pseudomonas. A researcher in Ireland has found Pseudomonas is capable of degrading polystyrene, but as far as Burd and his teacher Mark Menhennet know -- and they've looked -- Burd's research on polyethelene plastic bags is a first."
