Black hole vs. wormhole

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

All right, I think Damien Broderick's evidence shows conclusively that
a black hole could exist inside the sun.  However, I still don't think
that this is what happened to Urth's sun.

First of all, liberation of energy from matter by gravitation is much
more efficient than doing so by fusion.  It seems that using a black
hole would actually cause the lifetime of the sun to dramatically
increase as a main sequence star.  Why would Urth's sun become to weak
so quickly if this were true?

Finally, how do you plug up a black hole?  A black hole takes in
matter, a white hole puts out matter.  As the black hole takes matter
in, it grows.  Putting a white hole by a black hole would cause the
black hole to enlarge, not plug it.  Since the two objects can's
occupy the same space, it also seems that there would be an
unbalancing effect caused by the unequal push of the energy of the
white hole in one direction and the suction of the black hole in the
other.  This would probably make the sun be turbulent, rather than
stable.
