Sun's Dying <> Natural

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.

     I've often wondered how it got there myself. I have established 2
theories:

1) As in David Brin's novel _Earth_, some tinkering scientists create a bla=
ck
hole and it gets loose, ultimately falling into the sun.

2) Maybe a black hole happened to be floating around in our area of space a=
nd
passed into the sun then.

I'd be most interested to hear you opinions, Mantis, as well as those of the
rest of this motley group.
