Same. I started to lose faith in higher education when I thought that Dmonikal was about to get his masters.

> so time and space become nil therefor going back in time.
Make up your photographic mind... is time nil, or is time going backwards, or am I simply not understanding your babble?

I read someone once that having is photographic mind has never been proven. Most people with extremely good memories just learn how to categorize things to remember them. I saw this test on someone who memorized a blackboard of maybe 200 number but when he was asked to go down two rows and four numbers over he couldn't think of the #.

It is a debatable topic, but what you remember reading is pretty much thought to be correct. Children tend to have more of a photographic memory, but loose it quickly as their brains learn how to better organize data. With adults, photographic memory is typically only seen in the mentally retarded. The theory is that their brains never formed the pathways needed to allow for better organization of data. The "movie style" photographic memory is a fiction of Hollywood. Almost every case of adult photographic memory is actually the application of memorization techniques towards remembering what is seen.

So the question, is a blackhole really a hole in space, or is it just a point in space that's a giant ball of extreme gravity, more like a magnet which all sticks to?

To answer your question, you have to assume at least two things:
a) blackholes exist, b) there exists a meaningful answer to that question.
Personally, I'm not prepared to accept either of those assumptions and as such, I can't answer your question.
I mean, even if I go along with a) just for a minute here (because it seems perfectly plausible that blackholes could exist) what difference does it make whether you say there is a hole, a singularity, a tear in the fabric of space-time, or a cosmic toilet? Ultimately, those are just half-assed attempts at trying to draw analogy between a completely foreign "object" and something more familiar. Even the term black hole is misleading.
