A Jesuit priest gave Hawkings the idea of Black holes but was unable to work out the math. In Typical Hawking’s fashion, he took 100% of the credit.

True? Have citations? Why would a priest come up with the idea of collapsed star with it's immense gravitational pull, not even allowing light (photons) to escape? I just read that some physicists are starting to question the origin and even existence of "black holes". If they are what we've been told, we will never be able to cross the Event Horizon to look or measure the inside.
