Black Holes

For the most part, despite our advances in technology and space exploration, black holes (besides being mentioned a lot in Muse's new album) remain quite a mystery. Its hard to comprehend something that has such a small footprint yet an unbelieveably high density - so great that once an object gets caught in its gravatational pull, it is doomed.

Many theories surround black holes and what happens to the objects that are unfortunate enough to get sucked into their depths. Some say the objects are crushed infinitely small and add to the overall mass of the black hole, some say the black hole is a gateway to an alternate dimension - like a wormhole or something. Other theories state that there may be a black hole in the centre of every galaxy.

I have a theory about black holes, wouldn't you know. I believe that black holes definately exist but are much closer to home. Quite literally.

For instance, have you ever been in a rush one morning and no matter how hard you look, you just cannot find your keys or socks, or appear to have misplaced a grenade? Have you ever put a book down and come back to find it has disappeared? Have you often had things in your house go missing for no apparent reason and you never see them again? Shut the hell up and stop asking if things go missing and get to the point already! Fine...

I think a black hole is in existance by default in every house and as such, exists with the sole purpose of devouring things you leave unattended for a split second. Thats the only explanation for my missing fiver. I didn’t lose or misplace it, it was swallowed by a black hole. FACT.
