A true black hole is the most interesting object in astronomy. Think of it as an immensely, unimaginably powerful aggregation of nothingness.

Think of it as an immensely, unimaginably powerful aggregation of nothingness.I've used that definition to describe the Democratic party for years...

"Think of it as an immensely, unimaginably powerful aggregation of nothingness." Sounds like Al Gore's mind.

These guys should write a paper, do the math and THEN talk to a reporter after publishing.

Goes back to the old Hoover Vaccummatic theory of the Universe. Boils down to "Black Holes Suck"

"I don't see how something like a massive star... can make a transition into something with as bizarre a structure as a gravastar." As I recall, black holes were also considered bizarre and beyond liklihood when they were first proposed.
I wonder, though, if a molecular cloud has the same basic properties as a gravastar, yet in growing over time it has become more stable?

Yup, back to the ol' 'aether' after 100 years! I'm taking this opportunity to publicly declare:
"It really _IS_ turtles all the way down!"
Another twenty years, and I'm gonna look like a GENIUS!

Black holes were first proposed long, long before Einstein and Hawkings were even born.
