Ahh... Relativity, a wonderful thing.
A black hole with a large number of solar masses might allow a sight line
between the two of us if our relativistic velocities are the same. Stephen
Hawking theorizes that large black holes at the center of the galaxy would have
nebulous event horizons, since gravity is inversely proportional to the distance
from the object in question, the pull of a very large singularities' gravity at
the rim of the event horizon would be noticeable but your ship and body would
not be torn apart as with a small singularity in which the difference in gravity
between your head and feet would pull you apart. Of course this black hole would
have to be immense. I still do not want to meet a singularity.

See you over the event horizon,
James
P.S. Beware of naked singularities.

| Not to be picky, but I highly doubt that this would happen. I would not ever try to discredit Hawking's theories, however consider this problem: With our individual masses being significantly different we would mostlikely not have the same entry (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.starwars)
