Oh, this is interesting. It seems that there is a strong possibility that instead of there being a super massive black hole at the center of tour galaxy, there is a wormhole.
Current thinking is that whatever formed at the center of our galaxy about one hundred million years after the Big Bang drew in all the dust and gas to create our galaxy.
But... cosmologists pretty much agree that one hundred million years is not long enough for a black hole to grow so large and there is some talk about it being a wormhole. Right now we don't have the ability to look into the center of the Milky Way and be able to tell a black hole from a wormhole. That may soon change with the new Gravity infrared instrument at the Max Planck Institute.
But if it is a wormhole, don't expect to use it to go anywhere until we've cracked the "faster than light" problem, because the center of the Milky Way is 26,000 light years from Earth.
Here's a link to the Physics arXiv Blog where I found this item.
