Hi, I'm a real armchair scientist and my scientific knowledge is based largely on fervent web searches / books / TV shows rather than proper education, so forgive me if the following is completely absurd! I've been attempting to learn about subatomic particles, specifically how the Pauli Exclusion Principle affects them. From what I've read, fermions with the exact same attributes cannot occupy the same space at the same time. So, how does this work with black holes? Could it be that the gravitational forces are so great that time becomes infinite within the event horizon, thus allowing all particles to occupy a single subatomic 'space'? Or could the fermions be somehow converted into bosons, perhaps by having their spin altered? I feel that the fact that the Paul Exclusion Principle seems to apply only most of the time is a bit messy in my very humble opinion. Dave
