Re: Why is Space a Vacuum
Mining black holes is propably Last thing mankind ever learns to do, if ever. As we know, black holes are virtually everLasting (but not practically. There are few events caused by laws of quantum mechanics, which result that even black holes will lose mass and vanish in time and I am not talking about millions of years, but 10^90 years) and nothing can escape from there.
However, even if we could extract some material from a singularity, I doubt it could be of any use. Basically it is assumed that it consists of only protons and neutrons which would combine combounds with the nearby matter (atoms, electrons, neutrons, other protons) at the very same moment they would be taken off from the high gravity area. However this is interesting theoretical discussion
