Certainly not before the universe collapses and "big >bangs" again which means we have to start all over from scratch. :) If you talking about SF I have one SF book in which they did talk about the black hole just behind mars After which the speed of the rockets increased enormously And the usual rockets could fly with the speed of light There is always a posibilety that there is a blackhole in an project you are studing. (But would you turn a student down if he came up with an idea which might be the key(The blackhole) to the problem?) Regards Marc
