Black Hole Particle Jets Explained

Screaming Cactus writes "A team of researchers led by Boston University's Alan Marscher have apparently worked out the physics behind the particle streams emanating from many black holes. According to the researchers, 'twisted, coiled magnetic fields are propelling the material outward.' By watching an 'unprecedented view' of a black hole in the process of expelling mass, they were able to confirm their theory, predicting where and when bursts of energy would be detected."

Propose a theory which can be tested, then go about trying to disprove the theory.

Exactly!

Well, except global warming, obviously. That just gets accepted as is, since anyone who suggests otherwise is probably an oil company shill.

There are ID supporters on /.?

I'd flame you, but only for being ludicrously off topic.
