http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/exploration/timetravel/index.shtml

Extractions: by Neil Johnson The idea of travelling forward into the future or back into the past has always fascinated science fiction writers. The 'grandfather paradox' is the argument many people use to suggest that time travel is impossible. What if you went back in time and prevented your grandfather from meeting your grandmother so that your mother was never born? Then you would never have been born... and so on. Until very recently such arguments led most scientists to believe that time travel could never exist outside science fiction. But amazingly, some interpretations of the weirdness of the quantum world now suggest that time travel is possible - at least in theory. Gravity and black holes Einstein's theory of relativity brought space and time together in a single, four-dimensional arrangement that he called spacetime. We know that we can travel forwards, backwards and sideways in space, so why not forwards and backwards in time? Four dimensions are difficult to imagine, so physicists usually suggest you think of spacetime as a rubber sheet stretched out flat. If there are no large masses around, the sheet stays flat, and so any object placed on it will move around in straight lines. But a large mass, such as the

Then the foggy mass lifted off and disappeared in the blue carrying along the first battalion of the 5th Norfolk regiment of the British army - all soldiers to a man were gone... Vanished in a cloud The event which occurred on August 21, 1915, when an entire battalion was gone in the presence of other people, had been an official secret for over fifty years. Only in 1967 the documents containing the testimonies of twenty witnesses to this incident, which happened in the Southern Europe near Dardanelles, were made public. A long search for the vanished soldiers was mounted. But none of them had been found neither among the dead, nor among the POWs released by Turks after the war.
Do Black Holes Exist...?
Science popularization article on black holes.
http://www.freehomepages.com/pgostrov/e3.html

Extractions: The term ``black hole'' was coined by the astrophysicist John Wheeler in 1969 to describe a kind of astrophysical object. Since then, the expression has been used very often as a metaphor, usually inappropriately. These enigmatic objects have also become stars of science fiction literature, doubtless due to their suggestive names and their peculiar properties. For those are curious about this issue, they have probably run across mysterious funnels, time tunnels and other aberrations. Many so called science popularizing works, resemble fantastic stories, more than essays to explain what is basically a simple concept. But what are in the end, these dark portents of the heavens? Do they really exist? To try to clean the name of this creature a little bit, let's start by clarifying that the concept of black hole (but not its overused name) was first coined by the English physicist John Mitchell in 1783, more than two hundred years ago...! It can be said that towards the end of the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton brought sky and Earth together. Based on planet movement studies made by Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler, he deduced the existence of a force that made the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and everything contained in the cosmos attract towards one another. The same law that make planets move as they do, make us keep our feet on the ground, stopping us from being ejected to space.

StarChild: Black Holes
What is a black hole and how do we know it exists?(for K4th graders)
http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/universe_level1/black_holes.html

Extractions: Black Holes Some scientists believe that there is a black hole in our very own Milky Way. Black holes were once massive stars that used up all their fuel . As they died out, they collapsed inward due to the pull of their own gravity . The gravity of a black hole is so powerful that not even light can escape its pull! Once any matter falls into a black hole, it disappears from the visible Universe It is very hard to see a black hole. Any object that gets too close to a black hole will be pulled inside it. We only know they are there because of the effects they have on other objects that are near them. Any object, whether some dust, or a star, or anything, that gets too close to a black hole will be pulled inside it. As the objects fall toward the black hole, they heat up and get very hot. Scientists can use special instruments to detect the heat the objects give off. That is how we know the black hole must be there.

This balance exists as long as there is fuel for the fusion process that powers the star. What happens when the star runs out of fuel? Then, gravity collapses the star. The more massive the star, the more drastic the collapse and the more condensed the remaining object. a star about the size of the sun:

Extractions: Black Holes III will be a scholarly research-related conference focusing on the latest advances in the theoretical and mathematical aspects of black hole physics. It will pay special attention to such mathematically oriented problems as the string and M theory approach to black holes, numerical studies of black hole collisions and critical gravitational collapse, and exact solutions of Einstein's equations in higher and lower dimensions. This is the third conference in a series and is being held at the Kananaskis Inn and Conference Center, Kananaskis, Alberta. The previous two were held in Banff, Alberta (1997) and in Val Morin, Quebec (1999).

Extractions: The applet below illustrates the orbits of particles in a variety of color-coded forces. (Your browser is not Java aware) Central force refers to a force which always acts towards a fixed point (the center). As the above Applet demonstrates different central forces result in qualitativly different orbits. Some forces produce closed orbits, others a "spirograph" pattern. (The black hole is not described by a force per se see the black hole explanation).

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/strange/html/strange_blackh.html

Extractions: BLACK HOLES A massive star starts to collapse when it exhausts its nuclear fuel and can no longer counteract the inward pull of gravity. The crushing weight of the stars overlying layers implodes the core, and the star digs deeper into the fabric of space-time. Although the star remains barely visible, its light now has a difficult time climbing out of the enormous gravity of the still-collapsing core. The star passes through its event horizon and disappears from our universe, forming a singularity of infinite density. Stephen Hawking Do Black Holes Really Exist? Can Anything Escape from a Black Hole? P ile enough matter into a small enough volume and its gravitational pull will grow so strong that nothing can escape from it. That includes light, which travels at the absolute cosmic speed limit of 186,000 miles per second. In a stroke of descriptive genius, physicist John Wheeler named these objects black holes. The radius of a black hole is called the event horizon because it marks the edge beyond which light cannot escape, so any event taking place inside the event horizon can never be glimpsed from outsidein effect, the inside of the black hole is cut off from our universe. It has even been speculated that black holes could be pathways into other universes. Gravity is so strong at the center of a black hole, that even Einsteins gravitational laws must break down. The theory that governs the incredibly dense matter and strong gravitational fields at the center of a black hole is not yet known.
