It is amazing to me how completely and totally ignorant of black holes people are, they are not by any stretch of the imagination cosmic destroyers. If we were to right now replace our sun with a black hole with the same mass. We wouldn't get sucked in. Only real issue is surviving the process, then freezing to death afterwords. If you don't understand why then I suggest you go read a book on gravity.

I had to explain this far to many times when the big Hadron collider black hole thing was going on. Guess what, It may be able to form a black hole, but there is no possible way that it will be big enough to cause problems. Or hold itself together for that matter.

I preferd the world back say... 100-200 years ago when we didn't have the technology to find all these things out, nor the technology to make any other things to kill ourselves (with bombs and ting)
But then again that time was also boring. Woo! Devestation!

Oh noes!! A Black Hole!? But if our planet gets pulled into one of those, why, it'll be just as deadly as our planet getting overly close to any other celestial Body! Whatever are we to do? :O

Don't worry, if we manage to get out of the system before the star eats the planet we'll probably survive long enough to die of universal heat death. Or our galaxy crashing into another.

I knew it. The universe is a toilet and we are all about to flushed. I mean the big bang was nothing more than the passing of excrement. IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

End of the world? I thought that was signaled by the reappearance of some bearded zombie who wears sandals and has daddy issues?

no i saw on history channel its long and slow, you will get stretched out, it will feel good at first but then you just get stretched to atoms if the high tides don't take you out, that is

This thread just put the lyrics "Its the end of the world as we know it" in my head, and I really want to listen to it know, but I don't know who sings it. Bugger.

But seriously, I don't think its gonna be the end, the Milky Way is after all huge, and who really cares if we loose Neptune or Uranus, it just makes it easier to remember the planets, because there less of them.

Theoretically, if we actually do have as good of an understanding of quantum mechanics and time as we think we do, it could last for eternity.

Disappointed to discover it isn't a threat in our lifetimes. Could finally have had something to add to my bare calendar...something to look forward to...an end to my days of gaming and sociopathic mind manipulation. Seriously I'm so bored.

Dude, the planet will be a gaint nuclear waste land by the time we rwach it anyway.
And then I'll come out of my vault and embark on an epic adventure to find my father!
At which point you'll all be sucked in to the black hole in the middle of galaxy we've all been talking about. No rest for the wicked 'ey?
SPOILER!

Who would have thought Fallout 3 would end like that, eh? No Fallout 4, methinks..

I'm pretty sure that a black hole doesn't move, and that we are probably far away from it. Also, there are probably hundreds of black holes around the Milky Way, seeing as it is a pretty big galaxy. And in fact, the center of the Milky Way is a black hole.

It will be the slowest death imaginable.
pretty much... it's theorized that were you to cross the event horizon of a black hole, you'd be "stuck" in that experience forever, at least from your point of view...

Um, the Milky Way is huge. It's not that it's going to suck everything in, but the gravity well it creates is what's keeping the galaxy together.
Yep. Almost all large galaxies revolve around a black hole. Ours is no different.
