Perhaaps we can settle this issue once and for all by developing the technology to engineer strong gravitational fields, create our own black holes in the garage, as it were. The only thing I fear is that if we do this, it we could send a wrench intoit, and it would remain eternally stuck near the event horizon ... all while it emerges out of another white hole in the primate section of the Milwaukee Zoo. You could say that this might put the wrench into a monkey.
