It might be confused with black holes, but would be a different\nastronmical phenomenon (as would be appararent to any astronomer looking\nfor X-rays).>>\n\nBlack holes emit x-rays (and Hawking radiation, and other stuff) because the\nprocess of sending large quanitities of matter \"down the drain\" is not a\ntidy one.  Suns, etc. get ripped apart as they are pulled inside, releasing\nlots of energy  -- in fact, black holes release x-rays (high frequency)\nrather than other E-M emissions precisely because of the amount of energy\ninvolved.\n\nI am not an astrophycisist, but it seems to me that this would happen any\ntime you stuff a lot of celestial bodies and accompanying gas and dust\nthrough a smaller pipeline.  Thus, regardless of what you call it --\nblackhole, E-R bridge, whatever, you are going to get x-rays and other\ntraits normally associated with black holes.  So the ultimate difference in\nwhat you call the \"black chasm\" may be largely semantic.\n\nCarlton"
