This is not a rebuttal. I don't know anywhere where she claimed that GR was false. All she claimed was that Hawking Radiation occurred throughout the life of a Black Hole and not just after it was established.

I think it's a better result that no nonsensical singularities exist in our universe than that an essential part of how our universe is constructed and evolves is due to the behavior of singularities, i.e. objects that don't behave according to any law known to science.

Certainly we have theories that can be used to predict what will happen to objects that come within the vicinity of Black Holes, but they are a key reason why GR and QM have not yet been united into a single coherent theory.

The idiot who wrote the "rebuttal" is extremely rude and abusive. What is he trying to hide? Maybe he needs to find a Black Hole to crawl into.

Seems to me scientists in general have demonstrated a need for universal psychological screening of all scientists to rule out:

1) political bias resulting in crazy ideas

2) personal belief system bias resulting in delusional thinking

3) plain old stupidity

I was the one who called it a rebuttal

I probably should have said something like, "The article is in response to the material presented in this thread"

Sorry.
