thanks Ronald and other respondents for help with my best science
student's stumpers

- We look online together when I can, then I come here ... Today's
question is:

How can there be a black hole with two points of singularity, thus
resulting in a worm hole? How can there be two?

Also, the universe accelerating, faster and faster ... is a stumper to us
both, but I suppose we are not alone there. I suggested that if we are
indeed accelerating, it suggests mass unknown to us and our universe,
attracting us. Couldn't mass external to our universe provide that
accelerating force, via gravitational force, and couldn't that lead to
numerous convergences, contraction of matter similar to what may have
lead up to the big bang conditions? I ask this question, like a little
kid, because when I reason like that, the accelerating in all directions
observations we have do not seem to support the concept of an open
universe as has been asserted based on that evidence. Am I out on a
limb? I can clarify if needed ...

If you have already answered this, I have not yet thoroughly read the
response, sorry if I'm being hasty - just have to get the questions out
while they're fresh

Another question is why is Fe iron the most common/stable fusion product
of stars in general?

thanks a bundle you are all so smarrrrt
