Yes it can perhaps, but GTR and quantum theory don’t always get along and a black hole is where they meet head on.

One proposed example of a quantum effect in a black hole is called Hawking radiation. If a particle splits into virtual particles at the event horizon, some of the virtual particles escape the black hole. That has some interesting implications.

Woo! try a little decaf. Science will never over come stupid politicians. My daughter is a physicist and she get to do real cool things, like blowing stuff up with billion dollar toys. Its a really cool job.

Knowledge *is* power. However, quantum physics is one of the most over-used and least understood thing out there right now. I have done some reading and have found that most everything that goes on with quantum physics is so esoteric as to be above my (and just about all other people’s) head. This fact is taken full advantage of by kooks peddling the Secret and other New Age nonesense.

We don’t know what goes on in a black hole. Much of what you hear about black holes and their behavior is theoretical.
