Wes,

Actually an easy example of magnetism, which is the same as gravity when taken in that context, has been bending light since the first TVs were invented. Around the neck of the old CRTs were the big magnets that would pull the light beam across and up and down the screen as it in a simple explanation painted the picture on the screen.

I have always thought of Black Holes in somewhat the same as a Worm Hole. Whatever goes into one must come out somewhere. However the worm holes they have now managed to actually observe don't seem to be stable and stay in any place long.

I saw on of the scientists trying to explain the workings of a worm hole and he took a piece of paper and drew a dot on each end. He then asked the class that was the closest distance between the two dots. They all said a straight line and he told then they were wrong. He then proceeded to fold the paper so the two dots were touching and stuck a pin through them and said that was a simple explanation of how space and time are bent through worm holes. Basically there is no distance if you can have a stable worm hole, it would be much like deciding you want to go to Mars and just stepping off Earth and onto Mars. He then said it was their theory that Black Holes would work the same way except they have so much gravitational pull that anything entering them would be torn to pieces before being ejected on the other side. However since they have no way of knowing if anything is ejected on the other side, that leaves another interesting scenario. If everything pulled into them is crushed and drawn to the center spot where the magnetic field is the greatest, what happens as the pieces of planets, asteroids and such build up to a huge amount. Is there another explosion that would then blow them out into space again and actually eliminate that black hole?
