I did, however, find myself howling at the TV in disagreement with Hawking (as I often do at this particular point) regarding the split of positive and negative mass particles around the black hole (where the positive mass particles escape but the negative mass particles are sucked out (oooer, obviously), er, ).<BR/>Surely (!) If even photons (or light particles) cannot escape the gravitational (even this I have issues with) pull of the black hole then how can mere positive mass particles travelling at (at best) half the speed of light possible have enough energy.<BR/>*Deep breath and swig of coffee*<BR/>I did however win my bet with a friend of mine who I challenged to have a drink of wine every time the words "Black Hole" or "Penrose" were mentioned.
