It would be interesting to play a mind game and imagine yourself standing on one (without being affected by it). Would it be round like a planet? I think so... why would there be any other preferential shape? And, just what would things look like since light gets sucked in? Would we look all warped? Maybe like those mirrors at that carnival?

And if it really does collapse on itself, where does it go? Wouldn't it continue to suck more stuff in? Conservation of mass is one of the cornerstones of physics. Even Einstonian physics (not so sure about Quantum physics, but then, who is?) SO maybe it becomes pure energy (think atom bomb) and the products condense into new matter. Hmmm. Then one day, a being on one of those chunks of condensed matter looks up into the heavens and begins to wonder...
