No actual black hole has yet been located or studied, but the concept has
provided endless imaginative fodder for science fiction writers and endless
theoretical fodder for physicists and astrophysicists.
Black holes are one of the more exotic theoretical manifestations of general
relativity. The standard model for the formation of a black hole involves the
collapse of a large star. For extremely massive stars that are four to five
times the mass of our sun, the exclusion principlethe resistance between
the molecular particles within the star as they are compressedwill not be
strong enough to offset the gravity generated by the star's own mass. The
star's increasing density will overwhelm the exclusion principle. What
follows is runaway gravitational collapse. With no internal force to stop it,
the star will simply continue to collapse in on itself, until it reaches a point
of infinite density and zero volume, a phenomenon known as a singularity.
The star now disappears from the perceivable universe, like a cartoon
character who jumps into a hole and pulls the hole in after him. What this
process leaves behind is a different kind of holea profound disturbance in
spacetime, a region where gravity is so intense that nothing, not even light,
can escape from it. Any object falling within the boundary of a black hole
will be sucked in and will disappear from our universe forever.

Should present trends continue, within five years it will be cheaper for
audio enthusiasts to build their stereo systems around sets of separate,
high quality tuners and amplifiers, rather than around integrated tuners
and amplifiers, known as receivers. While receivers have been considered
the necessary compromise for those with budget restrictions, recent
trends in retail pricing seem destined to change that perception. The
average retail price of a high-quality tuner has declined at a rate of 20
percent each of the last two years, and the average retail price of a highquality amplifier has declined at the rate of 35 percent for each of those
years. At the same time, the average retail price of integrated receivers
has declined only 12 percent.
