We’ve all experienced this from time to time…at least, those of us who use the Internet: You try to connect to a particular web site, only nothing seems to happen.

Okay, you say, big deal. Annoying, perhaps? But, all it is, is a bad cyber connection,right?

Wrong, says fairly new computer science research, reports Live Science.

What is actually happening is the “messages throughout the world are lost to cyber black holes.”

Phone more reliable than Internet

Because of this “black hole” phenomenon, the Internet, says one experts, is “orders of magnitude less reliable than the telephone network right now.”
