there's a seminar at my college soon about how engineers and physicists are looking at black holes as an energy source/ somehow utilizing their immense power

It is true though...we don't know what happens to matter in a black hole except that it cannot continue to exist in any state that we know of. Uh-Oh is postulating that a mineral or metal could be at the center emitting a huge, immensely powerful, gravitational field which science HAS shown as being impossible. The sheer magnitude of gravity in a black hole renders atomic structured matter impossible because the forces rip atoms apart down to their elementary particles. Without atoms, you have no matter...only mass.

So yes, science has proven that matter cannot exist in a black hole because the very nature of it being a black hole prevents it. If it was anything less...it wouldn't be a black hole.

edit: maybe my semantics are wrong on this.
I should prolly say science has "shown" rather than science has "proven".
