  What Happens to Matter Swallowed by Black Holes? Japanese Physicists May Finally Have an Answer

  A team of physicists may have solved the mystery surrounding the matter that is swallowed by black holes. These physicists considered wormholes — theoretical tunnels with two ends at separate points in spacetime — to explain the long-held mystery. Black holes are regions in space through which no matter can pass.
