Black holes are among the most mysterious places in the universe; locations where the very fabric of space and time are warped so badly that not even light can escape from them. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, at their center lies a singularity, a place where the mass of many stars is crushed into a volume with exactly zero size. However, two recent physics papers, published on Dec.10 in the journals Physical Review Letters and Physical Review D, respectively, may make scientists reconsider what we think we know about black holes. Black holes might not last forever, and it's possible that we've completely misunderstood their nature and what they look like at the center, according to the papers.

We've been told that black holes are objects so dense and heavy, that nothing - not even light itself - can escape the pull of their gravity.
If that's the case, then how do these so-called 'relativistic jets' escape their grasp?
I don't think cosmologists have yet figured out what those objects are.
I’m pretty sure the jet activity takes place outside the event horizon of the black hole, a region where stuff can still get away if moving fast enough. Will check 4 better explanationlater today.
How does that even make sense? What force could a black hole possibly exert, that would push material away, if it's an infinite gravity well, as we've been told?
I'm sure some mathematical theorist will dream up some ad hoc explanation that plasters yet another band-aid on the failed standard model.
Modern cosmologists have abandoned classical physics and the scientific method.
