      Black holes are cosmic objects consisting of tremendous amounts of             
material packed into a tiny space. The huge quantity of matter exerts a gravitational pull so strong that it sucks in everything nearby, including light. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/070422-blackhole-life.htm"><DIV>
      Black holes tend to suck in clouds of gas that surround them, but not all gas falls in. Until             
the gas crosses a boundary known as the event horizon, it can still escape if it is heated, that is energized,             
enough. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/070422-blackhole-life.htm">giant black holes in the centers of galaxies may blow heavy elements like carbon and oxygen into the vast space between galaxies. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/070422-blackhole-life.htm">
