Well, I don't believe they ever actually used the term "black hole" anywhere in Paralax. Just "type four quantum singularity". Would a singularity NESECARILY have to be at the bottom of a black hole? All it really is is a place where the laws of physics no longer apply...

Kip Thorne describes a singularity as "a region of spacetime where spacetime curvature becomes so great that the general relativistic laws break down and the laws of quantum gravity take over".
A black hole is merely the cloak a singularity wears over its shoulders.

Sol: In the books, the Dominion was constructing a verteron collider to create an artificial wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant. The mouth of the collider needed to be made out of corzanium, an ultra-light, ultra-strong element found only in black holes. The prisoners had to quantum-step the stuff out of the black holes. And it was rather dangerous work so that's why the POWs were doing it.

An element found only in black holes? Oy... That's about as believeable as "Spock's Brain"...
A wormhole isn't quite a black hole. A balck hole is a singularity where things go in and don't come back out. A wormhole is a singularity where things go in and come back out somewhere else. But they are both quantum singularities.

...in a way, you could think of a black hole as a mass of neutrons, since it has no protons at all, you could consider it a new element...

Ah yes... That one. When the Enterprise went through the black hole, everything was backwards. Space was white and everything. The ships went backwards, old people were babies, etc. Turns out, this was just an alternate reality created by the Wanderers Who Play (IIRC).

A neutron star can be described, and is, a mass of neutrons, hence the word neutronium.
A black hole collapses matter far beyond neutrons, quarks, gluons, or any other fundamental particle. What you get is scary scary quantum gooey stuff.

Erm... Different elements are determined by the number of protons. If you haven't got any protons, you haven't got an element. You just have... stuff. :-)

Yeah, that "corzanium" stuff is bull. All the elements are on the periodic table. And any new ones will be heavier and denser. And if you change the neutrons around, you'll just have isotpoes of the same element. Also, neutronium isn't real. Neutrons can't exist alone for that long. I think neutronium is just supposed to be some futuristic super dense material.

They don't have much of a decision in neutronium. It's created by compression that's so great, the protons & electrons have no choice but to come into contact, cancel each other out, & turn into neutrons. And after that, it's so dense that the neutorns are actually touching each other.

Hey, we've actually SEEN a micro-black hole in the second episode with the Hirogens I think. They destroyed the alien com. array by releasing the quantum singularity powering it (I think they even specifically mentionned "black hole"). What we got was a small black hole surrounded by a white vortex. Quite far from what a real black hole would look like (it would distort light around it).
