regular physics just breaks down.  You might think physical laws are
immutable - you can't get out of gravitational attraction the same way
you can get out of a speeding ticket - but beyond a certain level laws
which determine how matter is regulated are simply overloaded and
material is crushed down into something that's less an object and more
a region of altered space.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/09/50-billion-suns.html"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD class="FJ_Line"> <A href="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/the-sunspot-mys.html" title="2.92">The Sunspot Enigma: The Sun is “Dead”—What Does it Mean for Earth?</A> <SPAN>2.92%</SPAN> </TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/09/50-billion-suns.html"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD class="FJ_Line"> <A href="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/09/what-triggered.html#more" title="2.03">What Triggered Sahara's Transition from a Lush Savanna to Planet's Largest Hot Desert?
