    What if a modern human male decided to go back in time and breed with a prehistoric female? How far could he go back where genetics between his sperm and his partner's egg was still compatible? What kinda advantages / disadvantages would the hybrid offspring have compared to modern and prehistoric humans?

    If you put a ton of negative electrons into a black hole could you get a negative electronically charged suit and go close to the black hole before being pushed away by it
