Last night I recorded a show about Black Holes on the Science Channel. What I learned was that anything crossing a Black Hole's "Event Horizon" becomes forever trapped by its gravity ... and eventually disappears within an infinite crush of space-time.

I don't pretend to understand the math, but I'm pretty sure that's what happens to socks inside the washing machine, too.
