Q:. Why is the consideration of a black hole as a 'cosmic vacuum cleaner' so wrong?

Far from the black hole, the gravitational field of a black hole is no different than that of a star having the same mass. Stars don't suck things in, although stuff hitting the surface will stick. Similarly, stuff getting near the event horizon of a black hole will fall in, but stuff on a trajectory whose closest approach is a few Schwarzschild radii will just zoom around like a comet.

Q:The spots look like black ink spots. They seem to be powdery because now they are all over my carpet. Is there an effective way to clean my carpet? Can steam vacuums help? Will I have to call professional cleaners to clean them? Any kinda help is appreciated!Thanks

Sounds like the belt to your vacuum may be shot. Check that first. If it is powdery, just replace your belt, and re vacuum. If it is set in, you should call a professional in. You don't want to take a chance spreading the black throughout the carpet. Let the professionals be responsible.

Q:What vacuum cleaners would you recommend besides hoover. The price is not important ?

The Dyson is a real powerhouse but for the $400 price tag it had better be. I've never used a more user-friendly machine and the thing gets the job DONE. The other nice thing about the Dyson is that you don't have to bother with filters. I'm also a huge fan of my Dirt Devil. It doesn't seem to clog, it works fast and thouroghly, and the manuverability is way better than the Dyson. The downsides to the Dirt Devil include the filter. It makes emptying the canister really annoying because you have to pull the dirty thing out of the canister, shake it off which invariably makes for a huge dust cloud, and you have to replace them every few months. In addition, on my model, the attachments aren't positioned well. They're always falling out while I'm vacuming and the attachment hose tends to get tangled in the cord and come loose. For more manuverability, Swiffer now makes a vaccuum cleaner which is really effective for small jobs and low pyle carpeting. It's really lightweight and versatile, but it's not very powerful. Then there's always a central vac system, in which a professionally installed unit in the basement is connected to holes positioned all over the house. When you want to vacuum, you plug a sweeper via hose into the holes in the wall. You don't have to worry about an electric cord or changing the bag. The downside is that you could buy a car for the amount of money you'd spend on it and it's not THAT much more convenient. If money were no object, I'd personally buy the Dyson.

Q:Are there any products that work well, e.g. cleaners, mops, wet/dry vacuum-mops?

I've used swiffer and orange glow cleaners.. Orange glow can soemtimes have a bit too much oil and leave a little residue. Swiffer works well as a cleaner but can leave streaks if you pump too much fluid.. The most important thing about laminate is not to use too much water or liquid on the floor. Keep cleanser and water at a minimum, otherwise the flooring could warp. Also depends on the quality of laminate you have. Best advice is to see if the Brand you purchased makes a specific cleaner.. I know Bruce brand does.

Q:I thought Dyson had a patent on bagless vacuum cleaners but now everybody is copying him. Is it because the patent has now expired and so people can copy it? (as he once sued hoover for copying him but that was a long time ago, around 10 years ago)Thankyou for your help

Are you talking about a broom? I don't think those can be patented.

Q:i tend to want a cannister because it easier to get underneath beds, tables, sofa......gimme brands and models if you can,,,XOXOXO

In my opinion, I would not buy a Rainbow! My mother has one that she paid over $1000 for and I would lots have my upright that came from WalMart. You have to put water in it every time you vaccum and then empty it; in other words, it's just a pain to deal with. Before that she had an Electrolux cannister and I loved it. Like you said, you could get it underneath lower furniture. The only drawback was that it took up too much room to store. They do make an Electrolux upright now that is great. My ex-boyfriend's mom sells them. They are a little expensive, but worth the price. They pick up grit and 'fuzzies' very well. Electrolux even has a payment plan. When I buy a new vaccum, this will be my choice.

Q:hair cut for long periods of time just to buy a new one???

Ad dyson for $165??? where?? I'd let my pubies grow for a year to score one of those bad larry's for so cheap.

Q:*Is there

vacuum cleaner?

Q:Will future vacuum cleaners have a small black hole to improve suction?

No, they'll have a large black hole to really improve suction.

Q:What is the best lightweight vacuum cleaner for use in a home with pets? I am willing to spend up to $300.

Dyson has a model that is great for pet hair, I think it says something about pets in the model name. About any vacuum will work well if you change the bag frequently, and vacuum really often--like daily. Good Luck!
