[Cspace]

Not sure if anyone is interested, but the essay I wrote about the Big Bang (an English paper) is now online. It was slightly revised to take out an interview (the interviewee did not want to be on the paper online for some reason...), but other than that it is complete.

Very Interesting Cspace. But what is your call on the Upermassive Black Holes?

You mean like quasars? Many astronomers and astrophysicists believe that they do exist at the centers of galaxies. What happens is that supermassive stars collapse and fall into themselves. The mass is mostly conserved (stays the same), though due to the collapse becomes incredibly dense causing a bend in the fourth dimension.

Think of it as the following:

- Have layers of nets on top of each other, all three dimensional planes. Place a golf ball on the net and then drop a bowling ball near it. The golf ball falls toward the bowling ball, and this demonstrates the gravity of a star/black hole in the fourth dimension (An orbit is basically the state of an object in perpetual freefall, always "missing" the ground. It is more complex than that with bodies of this size, since both would apply their gravity on each other, though the simple model can be used in this example). As more objects fall into the black hole, the mass increases and the gravitational pull of the black hole increases with it. In the center of a galaxy, where the older stars are, supermassive black holes are likely to exist with our current understanding of physics.

And finally, to answer your question, I do believe that they exist.

Note: To demonstrate a *simple* orbit with this example (one which applies more to artificial satellites), just roll the golf ball around the bowling ball before it reaches the bottom. It would probably be better to explain it as what happens when you roll a penny around one of those funnel things which eventually take your money when the coin gets to the bottom. Instead of moving straight down, it rotates around the center many times (friction would cause it to fall toward the center).
