What’s at the bottom of a black hole?

[Randy]

It’s a question we don’t yet have the tools to answer. Einstein’s general relativity says that when a black hole is created by a dying, collapsing massive star, it continues caving in until it forms an infinitely small, infinitely dense point called a singularity. But on such scales quantum physics probably has something to say too. Except that general relativity and quantum physics have never been the happiest of bedfellows – for decades they have withstood all attempts to unify them. However, a recent idea – called M-Theory – may one day explain the unseen centre of one of the universe’s most extreme creations.

Thoughts?

There is no bottom. Only Zuul!

Zuul is dead.

He lives at the bottom of the black hole.

Dead things aren't alive.

What about people who have no life?

They're alive.

How can they be alive if they have no life?

What do you think "having no life means?" Pretty sure you already know its a phrase to describe someone who doesn't have a social life, friends, hobbies, etc.

So always, I just got back from the bottom of a black hole. Turns out there's a trampoline down there.
