If You Dropped All Your Dirty Laundry Into a Black Hole...

Would aliens in another universe wash and fold it? See, Stephen Hawking says that black holes are the entrance to another universe, or other universes - he hasn't specified how many there are. Hawking speculates that when you slip over the event horizon, you don't just get sucked into a swirling mass of matter that is trapped in utter dark emptiness forever - you just pop out into another universe on the other side. But you can't come back. Which means no one can prove the theory. My kind of theory, really. The kind where you can say any crazy thing you like and no one can prove you wrong. Hawking says he won't try it himself. This theory destroys the usefulness of a black hole. I have always thought it would be a great idea if we could gather up the dangerous and toxic waste, etc., that we don't want on earth and send it all off in a rocket aimed at a black hole. Then it could never escape to harm anyone. But if Hawking is right, we'd just be dumping our garbage in some other universe. Of course, they couldn't get through that same black hole to find us, so maybe it's still a good idea. If you had your own personal black hole, what would you throw through it, just to get it out of your life?
