Astronomers have found the biggest black hole ever measured — it's 40 billion times the sun’s mass

[OldLady]

For us concrete thinkers.

See first-ever image of a black hole, a light-sucking monster of the universe

So, the closer you approach a black hole, the weirder things get: time will slow to almost nothing and as you approach a black hole, it will look like you went through a spaghetti maker and be all stretched out

Now that'll be some lab work.

 

[Confounding]

The universe pushing against the mass of our Earth is what allows us to stick to it and fly satellites around it.

An interesting concept I have not encountered previously.

I'm not an astrophysicist but that's how I understand it to work.

There is a scientific consensus that black holes are real. Scientists would think of it as settled

Absolutely.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If one were to run into it, it would be like running into a stone wall, yes?

No.

* from the perspective of an observer watching you enter, not to you.

You'll note real scientificsts never talks about "settled science" or "consensus", those are Cult words and concepts

There is a scientific consensus that black holes are real. Scientists would think of it as settled science.

No, there is no consensus. There is a theory that has evidentiary support.

There is no support for man caused global warming

Save this silly shit for the conspiracy theory section. This is the science section.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Scientists dont often talk about "settled science", as they deal in likelihood, based on evidence. This is when they are speaking aboit theories.

However, they will call things "facts". For instance, evolution.

Piss off little clown. There is zero empirical evidence to support man caused global warming. But that is not the subject of this thread.

The fact that they have found evidence for such a huge black hole is very interesting and supports the overall accuracy of the theory.

No science is ever settled you fucking scientific illiterate. Theories are constantly being improved or discarded. The reason being as our instruments improve, so too does our understanding of what we are observing.

Again...save this retarded shit for the conspiracy theory section. This is the science section.

No science is ever settled .

False. Scientific questions can be and have been answered. For instance: do black holes exist? The answer: yes. Settled.

Wrong. As usual. That's the problem with scientific illiteracy, you don't understand the nature of the questions.

Provide a single bit of empirical evidence then.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Wrong.

And yet you can't say why. So....not compelling.

 

[westwall]

Wrong.

And yet you can't say why. So....not compelling.

As usual, you lie. I gave you the reason. You're not smart enough to understand it.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Provide a single bit of empirical evidence then.

As soon as you take your idiotic denier horseshit to the conspiracy theory section, where it belongs.

Fuck you. Science is based on observations. Put up or piss off.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I gave you the reason.

You did not give one single reason. Not one.

Are there black holes? Answered. Yes. Settled.

So , give a reason that is not accurate. Use your big boy words.
