<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

space. <strong>The</strong> idea that any force can be greater than<br />

the speed <strong>of</strong> light has frightened and intrigued the<br />

modern mind and the literature -surrounding the black<br />

hole reads like a science-fiction novel. <strong>The</strong> vocabulary<br />

surrounding the black hole phenomenon represents<br />

some <strong>of</strong> the most fascinating terms to emerge in our<br />

lifetimes. For example:<br />

At the center <strong>of</strong> a black hole is the SINGULARITY, a<br />

point <strong>of</strong> infinite pressure, density, and curvature. At<br />

the edge <strong>of</strong> a black hole is the EVENT HORIZON, a<br />

one-way surface from which there is no escape, once<br />

it is crossed. Great speculation exists concerning<br />

what may happen if an object falls into one <strong>of</strong> these<br />

gravitational vortices. At first astrophysicists decided<br />

that an object unfortunate enough to be drawn<br />

through the event horizon would simply be crushed<br />

beyond imagination when it came to the singularity,<br />

and that was that. Further speculation was able to<br />

demonstrate that this was not the only possibility and<br />

ways began to be found to avoid the singularity. It<br />

was felt that if the singularity could be avoided that<br />

the traveler would emerge, perhaps in another<br />

universe than our own or in a different part <strong>of</strong> our own<br />

universe or a different time.<br />

It has been written that the black hole is connected<br />

through a tunnel called a "worm hole" to a "white hole"<br />

where the material gushes forth once again in re-birth<br />

and new life. All <strong>of</strong> these concepts are presented<br />

through very complex mathematics. Whatever the<br />

truth may be, the discovery <strong>of</strong> the black hole and<br />

gravitational physics in general has carried scientists<br />

to the brink <strong>of</strong> the known and threatens to plunge<br />

them into what may amount to a basic renewal similar<br />

to that induced through the Einstein theory <strong>of</strong><br />

relativity.<br />
