this sounds like moon hoax to me

:argue: :argue: :argue:

I'm not sure this is a hoax. It does seem plausible, afterall this area is very hard to verify whether we are correct. Maybe there's even a solution that combines both what we have now and this revolutionary way of thinking?

Let's wait and see!

you can never see a black hole forming cos photons cant get out of the gravitational grasp of a black hole. but we can detect it indirectly due to its X-Ray emission and stuff. Moreover, simulations and calculations have shown that black holes do exist. If black holes dont exist, the theory of relativity can jolly well be thrown away.
oh, not to mention the sucide of stephan hawking for wasting his life on black holes.

Hi,

That's why they are call theory... they are mean to throw away if they can't find enough evidence to support it or when they find a better theory and I think this is what you should expect when you are doing research in the field of science... Hee hee...

Have a nice day.

we sure have alot of theory like einstein's theory of general relativity and special relativity and string theory. I'm wondering what criteria must a theory meet so that it becomes a law or principle?

when it's proved relatively possible? There's always meetings that scientists attend where they show their works and theories they work out. Each is of course substantiated with hundreds of formulas and other theories or experimental support? that's when theories are accepted or rejected or sometimes, partially substantiated. This is the rough stuff i think... shud be it

but we're out of topic?

Which is why I left cosmology after a few years to come back to obs. At least I dun have to wonder if what I am seeing will be proven false in a few years!

Yah.. it is THEORY... Many things like evolution, can't be proven but theory is as estimation of what people can understand; or rather people can't find a way to explain it. For me, I just enjoy the observation and the beauty of the cosmos. I do not dwell in too much of the theory. The scientist can go around debating on their findings... it won't really affect anything in my life, since everything in the cosmos are in the millions and billions years or particles smaller than nanometre or wavelengths of light far shorter than visible... as calculated by the experts.
