Black Holes and Wormholes
Black Holes were once the things of legend and speculation. Now they are the things of fact. Some scientists speculate that Black Holes are not only real, but are really important in the formation of Galaxies. Black Holes may not just be destructive forces. They might by necessary to the survival of the Universe. Still, the notion is frightening. An object so massive that even light cannot escape its gravitation force. Things go in but they don't come out, like the roach motels of space. They come in all sizes, from the size of molecules to monsters more than a billion times more massive than our sun, and possibly several shapes. Wormholes are just as amazing, and as yet unproven. Holes in space in time, they might offer doorways to other places. Maybe some day we will find one or more wormholes, and hopefully they will go someplace we want to be.
