Yeah, I guess everyone who's curious about it should try it out ASAP...

Oops, shouldn't have said that:$

OK so I would like to know who designed it so I can talk to them. Also I get the feeling its not a gate.. however I am sure the outcasts would love the joke of seeing someone kill themselves in there. since I swear I read somewhere that someone spent a large amount of time working on its coding.

the guy who made it is no longer part of discovery. go see it, it's quite cool. although EVERY single person that sees it up close has to dive into it at least once, it's like it brainwashes you.

Already dove in it:D

It looks pretty good from a distance but when you get super close it sorta sucks >.>

Dang it. Hm I am curious if any other mods have successfully made some. I would assume Free world did since that is basically all that the Maw is...(a Boatload of Black holes)

I have no idea what happened in there but... I have a feeling something happens to you.

Is there a black hole somewhere? - Capt. Henry Morgan - 09-13-2008

I just dove right in. Next thing I know, I'm travelling through a long tunnel with a light at the end. Strange... doesn't look like a normal jump hole to me.

Wait a second... who is this bearded guy, and why is he claiming to be Saint Peter?

A moment passes.

Oh crap......

As a astrophysic's student and black hole expert I have to greatly disagree with the portrayment of this Black hole, in such unnatural acts. I think her rights were violated...

Anyhow You cannot really see a black hole. The things you can see are accretion disks wich are the brightest spots in all universe. Anything within the system would light up like a Sun, if anything... So it should be made very bright, this black hole, or invisible at all, just some gravitational lensing.

In any case, that may be named a black hole, but in fact is a greatest misschief FL has ever conducted against physics... (and that's pretty great)

here are some artistic way to portray it:
