^ I will watch this, but first I want to say that I just read a report published online today of a black hole caught for the first time in the act of swallowing a star!!!
I then read on this National Geographic website about the possibility that a black hole can spawn a new universe, a hypothesis I had heard before but haven't read much about:
Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe.
In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities.
According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn't collapse into a single point, as has been predicted, but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one, the theory goes.
In honor of the supermassive black hole Swift J1644+57 eating a big star, I will post the following song, even though I know some people would like to see it consumed and destroyed in the supermassive black hole that is its title.
Muse - "Supermassive Black Hole"
