You've GOTTA be kiddin' me! If there was a black hole inside the earth, we'd be sucked in and killed instantly! So basically, there's a black hole INSIDE the frikkin' Earth?!?

We although demand that we have discovered lots of mysteries viz. milk ways, galaxies, nebulas, white drafts, black holes etcs., in real they are creation of space mirror. SPACE MIRROR is the truth and hidden mystery of the space. Since we are unknown about space mirror, our research has diverted from original truth and we have spent lots of time and money behind the false truth. Therefore it invites to visit http://www.spacemirrormystery.com and for prosperous space research. From the ancestral time the world space research established on blind theory.

I guess you have watched too much of discovery channel gossip. Dont cite Einstein when you want to appear knowledgable. Einstein worked hard and seriously over 15 years on the STR and GTR. He published the first part after 5 years of scientific in the annals of physics 1905. then he continued another 10 yeras for GR. And worked til his death in 1955 on the unification of GTR and field theory. Dont mix serious physics with this joker articles of pure fiction without even the aim to be at the edge of trusted scientific work. Do you think Einstein would have asked one of these 'journalists' to quote him about gravitation as an effect of space warp and speculate if earth would rip by the curvature ? My mind is wide open to credible work, this article is lurid mixture of a bit of fear mixed with some cool astrophysical speculations and a coat of expert quoting. Hiding ? What should I hide ? a clear mind ? Some real scientific background ? A serious journalistic experience ? What is your reason to deny reality ? LOL

That would help with terraforming Mars for colonization. But really, this is very close to science fiction. It must be a slow news day.
