Well it has nothing to do with Newtons third law (that would just be that  when a black hole pulls something, that something pulls back with the same force)

As for finding one, we probably already have and don't know it as different from a black hole.  Maybe we are in a white hole?

No gravitational pull --> Flung into space ---> gets cold because we are away from the sun.
Too much gravity --> hurled into the sun ---> gets really hot when we get close to the sun.

Secondly, c is the speed of light in a vacuum. I am talking about the speed of light of a given condition/environment.

No, the laws of physics differ between the large and very small.  At the quantum level nothing is ever predetermined, hell, electrons can and are in more than one place at the exact same time, which is why quantum computing, if ever perfected, would exponentially increase our computing power at an unimaginable scale.

If everything in the universe reacts according to the laws of physics, and our brains are in the universe, then are not our thoughts and actions also bound by the same laws, and therefore isn't the future pre-determined?

Don't care about computers.  Will this lead to time travel and what are the possibilities it's perfected in the next 50 years?  Would like to go back to college, specifically December 1998 when I had mono and cough all over Dat Nguyen's fat face

We already have time travelers, they are living in the international space station right now!  They age slightly slower, like a couple minutes a year slower I believe.  The reason being they have less gravity affecting them.  Although time is relative based on perception and the forces of nature, it only flows in one direction, so going back in time is impossible.

where does this energy go?
http://www.space.com/31241-black-hole-eats-star-returns-leftovers.html

does the energy emitted equal the energy that it took in?

Probably not, I would imagine that even a minute amount would be consumed and crushed inside the event horizon of the black hole

tell me more about crushing energy, Mr Physics Master 2015

the energy that gets spewed out used to be matter, but was converted to energy. a portion of the matter was not converted to energy and crushed inside the black hole. smart ass

noted Swiss artist and total weirdo HR Giger claims that humans never deal with the trauma of childbirth and so we suppress it that it haunts us in our subconscious.

Do you think infants are able to perceive enough and develop memories to a degree to generate a trauma?  Might I be unconsciously seeking out the recreation of a womb for myself with every Chipotle burrito?

so the black hole isn't crushing energy, it's crushing matter.

interesting, sounds like a mix of string theory and multiverse.  Einstein theorized the possibility of the mathematical equivalent of a black hole, or white hole, and basically all matter and energy that is consumed by a black hole would have the equivalent ejection from a white hole.

exponential inflation is also interesting and recent studies have shown that dark energy may be the driving force behind it.

The documentary on Giger is fascinating... 

More likely that very religious conservative upbringing + LSD leads to vag = bad?/good? confusion trauma.  To know for sure, you'll need to drop some acid and/or other hard psychedelic drugs, and tackle a Chipotle burrito.  If you try to crawl into the burrito, then Giger is right.  If you eat it, then it's just a burrito.
