and to think, if black holes suck up everything, and they were to grow, eventually one would grow near us... :O

black holes and the expanding galaxy are way passed theories now.

wardrone, the jets have a propulsion speed of the speed of light, witch means that your spaceship won't have the hull integrity to withstand such a raid change of speed

actualy is only close to the speed of light.
and you cant ride them because most of what comes out is high energy photons, so there wouldnt realy be anything pushing you.

there aren't photons only there, certain "undigested" matter is thrown away through those jets, whitch means that atoms and nucleus of atoms are going with almost the speed of light directly to you, that means gama rays, and I don't think it's healthy to go there...

If the animation looks far fetched it is because it probably is. Black holes are a theory - nothing more. The expanding universe is a theory - nothing more. Both these theories have so many serious problems with them that it is wise to not embrace them as anything more than pre-science with a large helping of mathematical equations.

theres no "problems" with the theory of black holes or an expanding universe....they both fit perfectly fine with einstein's theories of relativity...and we have seen lots of data to prove both of them....we can "see" black holes by watching how it affects light behind it
