Default Black Holes and the theory of relativity
Hi Dr Karl..
I tried to ask this question on the radio a couple weeks ago, but was not able to tune in to see if you had replied. Sorry.

Hmm. Not sure how to explain this, but this is my best shot.
The theory of relativity basically states that nothing can exceed the speed of light. Or if it does it will be incredibly dense/heavy.
I heard your description of what occurred during the Big Bang recently and it kindof cleared things up. But also made be even more curious.
I assume that when the Big Bang occured light and "stuff" was released in all directions (along with what ever created matter).
And from memory, I think you said things are accelerating away from the original source.?
So... the light (and stuff) going in one direction is travelling at double the speed of the light (and stuff)travelling in the opposite direction.. relativally speaking..
And if it is accelerating..
So some of this light (and other stuff) by now is travelling very very fast..
Is this what the black holes are?
And stars being "sucked into" the Black Holes are really stars that are travelling away at "1/2 the speed of light plus a little bit" from The "Big Bang" in the opposite direction to us and so exceeding the speed of light in relation to us?
