    This has nothing to do with jewelry making, of course. And I'm not a
    black hole expert, either. But it's interesting.....First off, the
    SUN is plasma soup - peanuts. 

    To paraphrase the part of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity
    that applies: 

    Space and time are actually one thing, called "spacetime", often
    called "The Space-time Continuum". An object in spacetime cannot
    exceed the speed of light, and also it must always move forward in
    time (so the theory goes). 

    Mass distorts the structure of spacetime. The presence of mass tends
    to tilt the direction of time towards the mass - not a definition of
    gravity, exactly, but we experience it as such. As you get nearer to
    a mass, time leans towards the mass (paraphrased). One object must
    move towards another because it is forward in time. As one nears an
    infinite mass, all time leads to the mass, and the effect is
    inexorable. Once you pass the "event horizon" (point of no return),
    you cannot excape the black hole because you cannot exceed the speed
    of light and you cannot go backwards in time. 

    The effect of all that is that (always remember this is all
    theoretical) what happens around a black hole has more to do with
    warping the very fabric of the universe than merely making plasma out
    of H2O or something like, "There's a lot of pressure in there." It's
    my thought, not necessarily science's, that it could be something
    like the reversal of the big bang. Everything around a black hole
    gets sucked inside, but the essential question is, where does it go
    and/or what does it become? These things are cutting edge physics and
    mathematics, and even string theory doesn't adequately address the
    questions...
