What is a black hole?
A region of intense gravitation characterized by a central point or ring of infinite energy density called a "singularity" and an enveloping surface called an "event horizon" from which nothing - not even light - can escape.
How are wormholes related to black holes?
Unlike a wormhole, a naturally occurring black hole -- one created through stellar collapse -- is not a bridge between two universes (or distant regions within the same universe). There nevertheless exist certain solutions to the Einstein equations of general relativity in which a bridge between universes - a wormhole -- appears to have a black hole at either end. This is the sense in which certain theoretically possible black holes can be said to be wormholes.
Can a traversable wormhole be used as a time machine?
Yes.
How can a traversable wormhole be turned into a time machine?
Keep one of the mouths stationary. Move the other mouth -- at speeds approaching that of light -- away from the stationary mouth for a distance of a few light years. Then return it to the vicinity of the stationary mouth. Anyone who now enters the stationary mouth will be transported years into the future. Those entering the other mouth will find themselves transported years into the past. For shorter time jumps, shorten the journey of the traveling mouth.
Is there another way to turn a traversable wormhole into a time machine?
Yes. Leave one mouth, Mouth A, in a weak (or virtually nonexistent) gravitational field. Move the other mouth, Mouth B, into a strong gravitational field, such as that near the event horizon of a black hole. Wait. Now move Mouth B from the strong gravitational field and return it to the vicinity of Mouth A. Anyone now entering Mouth A will emerge from Mouth B into the past. Anyone entering Mouth B will emerge from Mouth A into the future. For longer time jumps, wait a longer time before removing Mouth B from the strong gravitational field. Alternatively, initially move Mouth B into an even stronger gravitational field. To have an ever growing time jump, leave Mouth B in the strong gravitational field.

At what speeds do you travel through a black hole?
Travel through a Black Hole is an impossibility, since by definition a Black Hole is a gravitational singularity with a mass so dense that not even light can escape. All notion of travel through a Black Hole is science fiction, as is the notion of time slowing down. If an object entered the Event Horizon of a Black Hole, only the observer outside the Event Horizon would perceive that object slowing down. The object inside the Event Horizon would continue as per its own 'clock' or 'object time', dragged ever into the crushing gravity of the singularity. There are some solutions that allow it. Though none exceed the speed of light.
What will happen in TIME if you stay too long beside a black hole?
Scientists cannot be certain, as we have yet to experiment with a black hole, but they theorize that time would slow down relative to time far from the black hole.
Why don't the weight of a black hole tear space time?
First, it isn't the "weight", but the mass of the black hole that is relevant. Second, the black hole does, indeed, greatly distort space and time in its neighborhood.
A black hole is a hole ripped in space through another sector in thin multi diminsianol place through time and space and gravity it then would a hole riped in space would stop light therefore stopping?
The term black hole is a misnomer that implies the notion of a hole; there is no hole, so there is no hole foe light to escape into another multidimensional place. A black hole is a spherical volume of immense gravitational attraction. The interface presented towards the outside world, called the event horizon is not really a physical boundary: it's merely the point beyond which not even light can hope to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Is a black hole flat?
No. The event horizon of a black hole is spherical.
Is there such things as time travel?
This is possible because have you heard of a black hole are ever seen one on tv? well this black hole folds up time because it goes so quick and it has to wriggleing lines andif you went through them you could travel through time.
Which black hole can you time travel through?
This question REALLY goes deep into theoretical sciences, but most any black hole. Any black hole, that is, assuming you have a strong enough hull on your vessel, you are in a vessel that is capable of superluminal travel, and heading towards a black hole that won't totally spaghettify you. Good luck with that.

If you go in a black hole do you travel back in time?
Quite possibly. One thing is certain - you can't escape from a black hole.
How can you use black holes to time travel?
in brief we can not do this, but in my opinion black holes can do. I mean if you run, you need to a place that change that. but if you don't move, you don't need to place, but if we could send places to black hole then we were a witnesses, that every one place that go through black hole, time was changed for that
Do black hole can pass through time?
At one time it was believed that there were "timelike" paths through a black hole, but the problem is that all such paths necessarily intersect the singularity. In other words: if you try to use a black hole to "pass through time", the only thing you're going to pass is away.
Why is the black hole unique?
The black hole is unique because it is the only force in the unniverse to rip space time and break through the theory of relativity
Could someone put a satellite through a black hole?
They could... theoretically, at least, but it would be a waste of time and money. For one, the nearest black hole is 1600 light years away, and there is no technology that would allow us to get the satellite to the black hole within a reasonable time frame. Secondly, by putting a satellite through a black hole, you would only be destroying it.
What happens to space time around a black hole?
Space-time is probably stretched, making time seem (to an observer) to travel slower.
Time travel using a black hole?
The theory is such that if the hole is super-massive, and rotates at high speed, and you, in turn, travel at a speed high enough, you should be able to avoid spagettisation and pierce through it.
What would happen if man were to travel into a black hole?
For a non-rotating black hole, a person (or a building, or a planet) would be pulverized and crushed into the singularity (point of infinite density) at the center of the black hole. However, the acceleration of particles is so great that a small black hole might cease to exist by the time the atoms actually reach the center, due to time dilation.
Is there time in a black hole?
yes. but the intense gravity is so strong it seems to bend time so slowly some people believe that there is no time in a black hole I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT that time does exist in a black hole it is just extremely slow on another note if time did not exist in a black hole then a black hole would not suck things into it. so time does exist in a black hole.
