Black Holes: Great Galactic Power Plants.

Before anyone gets started reading this post they need to read "The Illusion of Time" and "How the Sun really works". This is an extension of those two articles. 
One day once again learning about Einstein, I was learning about his thoughts on black holes. After previously learning about the illusion of time and how the sun really works I was interested on what happens to matter when it goes into a black hole. It is commonly believed that at the center of most galaxies there is a supermassive black hole taking in massive amounts of matter and holding the galaxy together. We know from Einstein's most famous equation E=mc2 is saying in layman's terms that mass is equal to a lot of energy. So essentially these black holes are taking in a lot of energy and nobody really knows what happens to it. I've heard a lot of theories including some people saying that the matter is crushed to infinity. We'll again with my understanding of the Gospel I came up with my own theory of why there are black holes and what is happening with them. 
I only have one scripture that came to mind to back it up. It's in D&C 121:46 speaking of those who receive exaltation it says "The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant acompanion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of brighteousness and truth; and thy cdominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means  it shall flow unto thee forever and ever." 
When I was learning about black holes this scripture came to mind.  The way it says without compulsory means an everlasting dominion flows to those who receive Godhood. And Christ who has received Godhood is the Light and Life of the world. I don't know about all the details but I think the possibility that Kolob is at the center of this supermassive black hole should be explored. That in our sphere it appears as a black hole and is in reality the source of all the light in our galaxy. 
Nothing happens by coincidence and God is does all things in wisdom and order. So what could God's purpose be for black holes? All that matter which is energy needs to go somewhere. It doesn't just get lost or wasted. I believe that it is turned into the very energy that lights the sun and every other sun and star in the galaxy. Almost like they are a super-galactic power-plants. 
With the other articles in mind you can see how the energy once captured in the black hole could instantly be turned into pure energy and shot out into space to lighten the night sky and our sun. If it transcends our dimension it could go everywhere instantly, and become the very light of Christ that "proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space." (D&C 88:12)
Again, I hope that this can start some discussion and lead to learning more about God's wonderful creation.
