    Is there a definitive answer as to what a "Black Hole" really is? Could one be used to time travel or skip dimensions?

    Question #53173. Asked by infiniti. (Dec 16 04 6:54 AM)

    		A black hole is an extremely dense collapsed star where the gravitiational pull is so strong that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Hence nothing, including light, can escape the object, making it "black".

    For the rest......possibly not, and most probably not.

In the middle of the eighteenth century, British and Indian troops clashed at the fort. The Indian troops drove a reported 146 defenders of the fort into the cell.
