I assume it's some magic bullshit--gotta bring it to where it began, so the circle can close and all that sort of mystic nonsense.

This is still my favorite guess as to the true nature of the black hole:

With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Clearly the fire dude (I'm sorry if I should know this) found the ring. From the coloring it looks like it's being lit up by some kind of very hot flame.

That fire dude is Gritty, the mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers, but your theory is still plausible!

Absolutely nothing.

Getting people to believe you, however, may be more difficult.


The idea of a black hole is that it's not visible cause the gravity is so immense that light cannot escape it. However, there is an area around it made up of stars and whatnot being sucked in that are still emitting light. So the theory is that there should be a nearly circular bit of empty space surrounded by a ring of light. This looks like a circular bit of empty space surrounded by a ring of light. So it's either a black hole or some other weird space thingy that Einstein and Hawking never thought of.
