Star-Eating Black Holes - Michael Finkel

If Earth were hurtling on a collision course with a black hole, we would never know. Their gravitational force is so strong that neither light nor planets can travel fast enough to escape. But Michael Finkel author of "Star Eater," in the March 2014 issue of National Geographic magazine, says that black holes are so small and the universe is so large that there are better things to worry about. He also explains to Boyd that black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that time is just another variable thrown off by the force.
