I’m afraid I’m gonna need to see those 13 pages of calculations before I can comment further on this article.
I understand this stuff much better after a few beers.
Say it isn’t so. Now what will we use as an excuse when we lose something?
The event horizon would have to be made of socks, pencils, and keys.
Bunny... pancake...
this arguement doesn’t hold. Sandy Burglar has proven that black holes exist!!
One has to wonder what the perception of a person who is falling into a black hole would be...is the warp in space/time so severe that the person falling in would perceive an ever increasing acceleration and compression until unity with the core mass is achieved...but that it appears to take "forever" to an outside observer?
If we have anyone interested in astronomy here, the following is a VERY interesting link.
Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting page
on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of
10 million light years and then zooms
in towards Earth in powers of ten. 10 million, to one million, to 100,000 light
years and then it finally reaches a large Oak tree. If ever there was a witness to
the glory of creation (and perspective), they have captured it for our viewing
pleasure!
Once you click on the site, the software does all the work. Sit back and try to
imagine how perfect our universe is! Amazing!

Uh... oh... according to the underlying research behind these findings, this appears to be ample proof that Algore not only does not currently exist, but never existed in the first place.
Was there a beginning in time? What happened in the eons upon eons before then?
“If black holes exist in the universe, the astrophysicists speculate they were formed only at the beginning of time.”
What?
I thought a star of certain mass, particularly one with a binary companion from which to draw further mass, would form a black hole on collapse.
Are they saying that time dilation actually prevents a black hole from forming over the life of the universe, hence there can be none?
It’s spaghettification, I tell ya! Spaghettification!
If you'll do the first 7, I'll handle the last 7.
Oops!!
"If black holes exist in the universe...."
And if I read this correctly, they are saying black holes cannot be created, but maybe some exist from the beginning of the universe. Those are big maybes and certainly raise the question what are all the black holes scientists think exist, if it turns out they aren't black holes?
You got a deel!
Funny how we can imagine time having no end, but it’s difficult to imagine it never having had a beginning.
Yep, that's what I'm getting out of it. The classic black hole with all its familiar properties, which froms a collapsing star, simply cannot exist, because everything freezes at the event horizon. Nothing "disappears" from our universe. At least from the outsider's point of view.
