- datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25I have returned from the future (2080) after having gone into a blackhole. I must report that the page has not loaded yet
- Gus1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Surely this is how they will teach science in the near future? I find the flash animations much easier to understand than an old text-book.
- thegsa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11It's Double Entendre Time!
- Narishma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10@andyrobo60: Obviously you should attack it's weak points for massive damage.
- datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9How are we supposed to retrieve any data from the probe? What a poopsnakeish comment shame on you
- andyrobo60, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Anatomy of a Black hole??
How does this help me in a fight with a black hole, Which bit should I attack first?? - Alniner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Q:Why did the Digg User climb over the glass wall?
A: to see what was on the other side. - Brickster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6http://duggmirror.com/space/Anatomy_of_a_Black_Hole/09b8553c01a32c759e6f7833c0e78804_Blackhole.swf
- CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Uh... Loading Time?
- swit012, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Ooh, I get it. The weight of the digg community on a site with poor bandwidth reaches critical mass and....

Cast "regen" on all your party members and then ready "holy". - resplence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn, that made the whole wormwhole/time travel theory seem rather idiotic. It's by far the most unlikely and unsubstantiated of the total 3 proposed.
- N00bicals4543, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2very interesting. i never thought about it in this way. Great way to understand just what a black hole can really do. gotta love physics!!! Maybe we can send a probe in one one of these days and see what happens :P
- Beaver6813, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3wow, so accurate and so black!
Oo has come up with a static loading bar :P - BossX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3http://duggmirror.com/space/Anatomy_of_a_Black_Hole/
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2is it just me or is this portfoilio spam? and not even good portfolio spam.
- Listre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This was a great example of content on the web, but a half-hour Discovery Science Channel show on the same topic is about 100 times better.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1looks like Brickster found a way to to send us in 2010 when the page loads
- stratozaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1whoaa, one of the best interactive pieces on Space theme i've seen out there! NASA pages always have good demos, this one was cool too.
and remember the third scenario - you may actually travel to other galaxies via black hole! (if the first two scenarios fail to be true..) - sumrandommember, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@datastorageguy
Couldn't we just tie a rope to the probe and pull it out afterwards? 'Cause twine is really strong, could probably keep from getting torn up in the gravitational pulls. - Triplbogey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The trick to surviving a black hole is......wait at least one hour after a big meal.
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2For that black hole to load so long, it has to be even bigger than the goatse guy's...
- ernest92, on 04/24/2008, -0/+0Black holes... awsm... Just once in my boring life i would like to see what really happens inside a black hole. I don't care if i get shreded into atoms... i just want to know...
- erge2009, on 07/05/2009, -0/+0Very interesting short video explaining the lifecycle of a black hole. Black holes have always been a bit mysterious to me, but this video is very clear and easy to understand.
- archlich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This flash doesn't show much of the anatomy of a black hole at all... Theres no description of evaporation, or why an event horizon is visible...
For a slightly less flashy and more informative document:

Twine gets too twisted up in orbit and breaks. Catgut would do the trick. - dtd00d, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If you keep clicking the loading bar when its not working it fills up
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I agree,
Finally I've understood better what a black whole is. - pal670, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0All you got to do is refresh the page with F5....then it works.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Isn't this some place in Calcutta? Or Calicut, or whatever they call it nowadays.
- RadicalEdward, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Well once the loading bar comes up, the more you click it the more it fills up but after that it didn't do anything.
Really lame, no digg - poseitom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0IIIII..................................... loading
no black hole… just big black square. - teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3How did something so stupid get so many diggs?
- NookYouLurDave, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Ah! I get it! A Black hole "Sucks" you in....get it? I was sucked in by the "Loading.... . . . . . . . . . ." Time started slowing, and I acutally felt my beard beginning to grow backwards!
- XFLOP20, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Reminds me of one of my favorite songs...
Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Wont you come
Wont you come
