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.
Use Google, now type in “A Jesuit priest gave Hawkings the idea of Black holes”.... Its easy
I think he must be talking about Georges Lemaître, who was a Jesuit Priest and also widely seen as being the Father of the Big Bang theory. But I am not sure of his relation to black holes.
Hawking actually produced a special that gave Lemaître reasonable credit for his role in this stuff...but this was back in a time where Hawking was a little more reasonable.

Why was Einstein’s best friend a Jesuit Priest cosmologist?
