Black Hole Information Loss Paradox Solution Proposed

Anuborn Satirak writes to tell us that Physicists from Case Western Reserve University claim to have cracked the black hole information loss paradox that has puzzled physicists for the past 40 years. "The physicists are quick to assure astronomers and astrophysicists that what is observed in gravity pulling masses together still holds true, but what is controversial about the new finding is that 'from an external viewer's point it takes an infinite amount of time to form an event horizon and that the clock for the objects falling into the black hole appears to slow down to zero,' said Krauss, director of Case's Center for Education and Research in Cosmology."

    Of course that's true, but is it also the case that a black hole can hold a stargate open, slowly sucking all of the surrounding area around the other gate into its time dilation bubble? Really, as a taxpayer funding this research, I want answers.
    Well as you know after O'neille and Sam got trapped on that ice planet they figured out eventually that the weapons fire behind them had caused the wormhole to switch gates [from SGC to antarctica] using that knowledge they then dealt with the later blackhole problem by detonating a high explosive device to cause the wormhole to switch gates thus taking the problematic gravity from the blackhole with it. thus we having learned from their mistakes intend to have a stock of 2 or 3 of these high explosive device just for such an occasion.

    Damn, I read the title and thought someone had figured out where /dev/null goes.
