If I make a theory about universe and black holes, where should i send it?

A scientific journal (like "Science" or "Sky and Telescope"). I do suggest, however, that you let a professor read it before you submit it. Even if you have a brilliant idea, they will throw it away if it's not properly presented.

there are problems in your theory... first what can be considered FIXED in the universe. nothing is fixed... its a relative term in this situation.  Also an unbreakable string is an impossibility. There is no such situation where something is completely unbreakable. Even the smallest particle can be broken by enough outside force. \n\n I would like to take your idea to a different level. Lets say it was possible to have an unbreakable string.  Send the ends of this string into 2 different black holes.  Visualize 2 black holes connect by a string.  To answer your first question about seeing the string... You would able to see it until it got to the point where the light wouldn't be able to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole... In theory if the string is unbreakable then it will be impervious to heat and pressure... so it wont melt and crush... Eventually the constant pressure on the string would bring the 2 black holes together. Until the combined gravitational pull of both black holes on each other cause a cataclysmic event where the combined speed and pull of the black holes would cause the entire universe to collapse on itself... and everything as we know it would cease to exist

Probably find a ship graveyard.\n\nNo...for real...I don't think it is possible to reach the edge of the universe.\n\nPrint this out, then if it happens, you can say, "I told you so."  :)

you're thinking of a worm hole. a black hole will, as far as we know tear things apart to as it takes them to a different part of our universe, which doesnt make sense because nothing can escape from them. Anyway, a worm hole, which is theoretical -mostly- is like two black holes connected at their vertex's. think of the universe as a thin sheet of paper. one black hole is is on the right side, and another on the left. fold the piece of paper so that the black holes are lines up. instead of traveling from point A to point B, you just go through space in manner of speaking from point A to point B "just like that". there really isnt any just like that, but that's as best i can describe it with out actually showing you. sorry if this makes no sense.

The current scientific theory holds that black holes are formed when stars of sufficient mass (about 3x the mass of our Sun) reach the end of their life and collapse down into a singularity, which is, in essence, an infinitely small point with a huge amount of gravity - gravity so powerful that not even light can escape it's pull if it gets too close. It is also thought that black holes can be formed from smaller masses if external energy/pressure is exerted to squeeze the mass into a singularity.\nNot sure if there's any direct experimental evidence of creation, but there is evidence that they exist. Cosmologists use several different methods to detect blacks holes, such as by looking for light being bent and/or disappearing as it travels from remote stars towards us, and also by looking for bursts of x-rays that are given off as matter is sucked into the back hole and destroyed.\nFun fact: current evidence and theory suggests that the center of the Milky Way is a giant black hole that was formed as the densly packed stars in the center collapsed and sucked each other in.

This is not a cheap answer because this is a fact: No one knows yet where black holes lead to. Science has not yet found an answer to your question. \n\nIf you want more info on black holes, visit www.nasa.gov

The lecture is saved as a postscript document. \nQuantum Cosmology, M-theory and the Anthropic Principle (January '99). \nRotation, Nut Charge and Anti de Sitter Space (February '99). \nLinks \n\nHome \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPhysics Colloquiums - Inflation: An Open and Shut Case (April '98).\nSlides and audio for this talk can be downloaded from the ITP at UCSB.\n\nThis talk will be based on joint work with Neil Turok, at Cambridge. Neil has always been interested in what might be called, alternative cosmology. He pushed the idea that topological defects like cosmic strings or textures, were the origin of the large scale structure of the universe. And he was a proponent of what is called, open inflation. This is the idea that the universe is infinitely large, and of low density, despite having been through a period of exponential expansion, in the very early stages. My opinion was, that these were all nice ideas, but that nature probably hadn't chosen the use any of them. I included open inflation in that list, because I believed strongly that the universe came into being, at a finite size, and I felt that implied that the universe now, was still of finite size, or closed. However, after Neil gave a seminar on open inflation in Cambridge, we got talking. We realized it was possible for the universe to come into existence, at a finite size, but nevertheless, be either a finite, or an infinitely large universe now. My talk will be about this idea, and new developments that have occur since then. One of these, which is so recent that it is not yet fully worked out, is that it seems there is an observational signature, of the kind of inflation Neil and I are proposing. The present measurements are not sensitive enough to see this effect, but it should be possible to test for it, in the observations the Planck satellite will make.\n\nAnother recent development, is that observations of supernovas, have suggested that the universe may have a small cosmological constant, at the present time. Even before these observations, Neil and I had realized that if there was a four form gauge field, one could invoke anthropic arguments to make it cancel the cosmological constant, that one would expect from symmetry breaking. But the anthropic argument would not require it to cancel exactly. So there could be a small residual cosmological constant. This is exciting. I shall describe the observational evidence later.\n\nAs you probably know, the universe is remarkably isotropic on a large scale. That is to say, it looks the same in all directions, if one goes beyond such local irregularities as the Milky Way, and the Local Group of galaxies. By far the most accurate measurement of the isotropy of the universe, is the faint background of microwave radiation, first discovered in 1965. At the present time at least, the universe is transparant to microwaves, in directions out of the plane of our galaxy. Thus the microwave background, must have propagated to us, from distances of the order of the Hubble radius, or greater. It should therefore give a sensitive measurement, of any anisotropy in the universe.\n\nThe remarkable fact is, that the microwave background is the same in every direction, to a high degree of accuracy. It wasn't until 1982, that differences between different directions were detected, at the level of one part in a thousand, with a dipole pattern on the sky. However, this could be interpreted as a consequence of our galaxy's motion through the universe, which blue shifted the microwave radiation in one direction, and red shifted it in the opposite direction. It need not represent any intrinsic anisotropy in the universe.\n\nIt was not until 1992, that tiny fluctuations on angular scales of 10 degrees, were

From your own hard work and effort. Noone here will do anyone's homework for them.\n\nMy suggestion - if it is a project on astronomy, quote a famous astronomer, like Percivel Lowell. If it is a project on the large nature of the universe, find a catchy quote by Einstein or Stephen Hawking. And if the project concerns the space program, you'll find wise words from any astronaut who has been up there and made awestruck comments about what it is like.

The known universe based in our present level of technology is not necessarily the whole existing universe or universes.We can have a beginning in our known universe independently of the others. For example, one of the theories explain the present expansion as a huge bubble of matter and waves. But, maybe there are other bubbles. And what if the black holes are the  connections with other parallel universes in other dimensions? And the Big bang is just a transfer of matter from one universe to other? Many scientists are working now in this subject, and the best way to follow the new theories is reading the science journals from time to time.No answer is definitive because the science will continue to discover new facts and develop new theories that are beyond the wildest imagination.

I believe there are two kinds of black holes. One I'm sure everyone will explain to ya, a great mass so large that light can't even escape it's gravity. But the other kind is theoretical: What if everything in THIS universe came from somewhere else? That is the only way I can explain it, except that somehow we are all headed for it again, to be sucked into it and expel ed into another place which right now is completely void, and this universe would be turned inside-out again.

Black holes are a theory, we suspect that some anomalies in space are black holes. White holes are desired by our nature to balance the negative energy of black holes. However the Begy concept of gravity as an external force acting on our universe more than compensates for the negative E of black holes and even predicts a source of energy that is constantly flowing into the universe which can only be detected as the force of gravity. According to the Begy theory, black holes would be anchors in time and space where the gravitational force is neutralized.

The Universe was created by an event known as the "BIG BANG" and has been increasing ever since.  There are many theories about what the universe will do in the future Ex. ever increasing, saddle shape, or will is contract and implode creating a massive black hole.\n\nVery cool and interesting stuff.\n\nCheck this site for more on the "BIG BANG"
