Is this article talking about the national debt?

I have a question if anyone here is enough of an astrophysics professional to answer it. As gravity increases, time slows and at the event horizon, time essentially stops. If that’s the case, then as a star collapses, time slows and slows as the gravity increases but if the collapse slows, how can it every finish and reach the point where time stops? Wouldn’t each black hole essentially be forever trying to finish forming but not finish forming until the “end of time”?

This is fortunate, as modern physics has no way to describe what a naked singularity would look like. -Ian O'Neil

What, those modern physicists have never seen a National Geographics?

Well, that’s good. I don’t want a naked singularity in the first place.

You can manipulate a black hole as much as you like but you’ll never get rid of its event horizon

Not touching that one at all...

But personally, I believe if B Hussein Obama is elected we'll all be living in a black hole (no racial connotations intended!).

What about 3 colliding singularities?...

“where the laws of physics do not apply”
If things really work differently at a singularity, then that’s part of the laws of physics too, and the laws of physics need to be revised to include that.
Problem is scientists really think that their “laws” rule and control the universe.
Wrong.
Scientific “laws” are an attempt to understand and describe the workings of the Universe. If the “laws” are wrong, they must be revised.
Since present scientific “laws” don’t explain the origin of the Universe, often referred to as the “big bang”, they are in question.

No to naked sigularityism. I you allow just one singularity to be naked you must allow them all. Stand up of the rights of the cloaked singularity.
;P

Let me see if I have this right:

A black hole is a pile of matter so dense that it’s gravity sucks in photons.

The event horizon is the spot where the gravity is so great that it sucks in photons. Outside of the event horizon, photons can escape.

You ram one black hole into another and their gravity makes them stick together, making a bigger black hole. Presumably, the event horizon moves out a little because of the increased gravity of the increased mass of the black hole.

How many scientists did it take how long to figure this out?

Duh!

There’s an NObama joke in there somewhere.
