There isn't enough mass in our solar system to sustain a black hole, less on a scientists' research budget.

There absolutely is. Any mass, no matter how small, will turn into a black hole when sufficiently compressed.

I like to believe all that mass in an impossible tiny space is a result of all the multiverses stacked on each other.
