Black Holes May Mature Early In Galaxy Evolution

Posted by samzenpus on from the they-grow-up-so-fast dept.

masterwit writes "From Scientific American: 'An accidental find in a star-forming dwarf galaxy shows that black holes may mature early in galaxy evolution.' Also, 'if giant black holes in star-forming dwarf galaxies prove to be common — that is, if Henize 2-10 is not an outlier but a representative of a larger population — they may have much to tell about the formation of primordial black holes and galaxies in the early universe.'"

    there is no observational evidence for a black hole occuring in nature. to invalidate the concept of a black hole it is sufficient to show that the point mass singularity at the center of the black hole violates relativity. infinity densities are FORBIDDEN by special relativity. since special relativity cannot violate general relativity, general relativity too forbids infinite densities.

    i recommend everyone reading this to read stephen crothers' website and decide for yourself whether or not black holes exist.
