bascule Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yay: http://thefinaltheory.com/pages/2/index.htm Evidence of this guy's idiocy: Q: But don't we know all about the gravity of Black Holes and how even light can't escape? A: No. This often-repeated error is based on a simple oversight. Black Holes are said to form when a star expends its nuclear energy and collapses. But starlight only shines from intact, functioning stars, of course. There is no more reason to expect light to shine from Black Holes than from a burnt-out, smashed light bulb. This is a commonly repeated error in plain view that is intended to showcase and dramatize our scientists' deep understanding of Black Holes and gravity, but which actually exposes how little they truly understand about either.
