Black Hole Observed by X-Ray Satellite

eldavojohn writes "Scientists at JAXA and NASA used the Japanese Suzaku satellite to collect data and observations at a distance nearer to a black hole than we've ever been. From the article: 'The observations include clocking the speed of a black hole's spin rate and measuring the angle at which matter pours into the void, as well as evidence for a wall of X-ray light pulled back and flattened by gravity. The findings rely on a special feature in the light emitted close to the black hole, called the "broad iron K line," once doubted by some scientists because of poor resolution in earlier observations, now unambiguously revealed as a true measure of a black hole's crushing gravitational force.' Suzaku also has been providing images and data of super novas and their activities. It's always nice to see national space agencies working together, it almost gives me hope that the world might one day be united in space exploration."

There are no black holes

[viking80]

First, the diameter of a "black hole" is proportional to its mass. The sun, for example, must be compressed to a diameter of about 3km to become a black hole. A black hole with the mass of billion suns would have a dameter=3 billion km or the size our solar system. The density of this black hole would be "low" as in much thinner than air. (Do the math yourself. Mass of sun is 2x10E30kg)

By size, we mean the event horizon.

Anyway, as a region of space gets denser, time slows down, and as the density approaches the density required to become black hole, time just freezes.

What you will see when looking at a "black hole" is just a region of space with the eventual event horizon of the hole just frozen in time, and as you move outside, time goes through the "molasses" stage, and as you get further away, gets normal.

The black hole will not form in any finite time since time there just stopped!

For the observer falling towards the "hole", time in the rest of the universe just speeds up. In a matter of minutes the universe will age billions of years, and the observer will first hand know the ultimate fate of the universe in a distant future.

Also, if you happend to be in a region of space that was getting close to become of a big black hole, you would not notice much.

If you comment on this, please give me the actual physics and math, It is not very complicated. Yes, I know many scientists disagree with me.

Just think for yourself for a minute.
