Hey Dotsters! This is my first posting on slashdot, and on one of my fave subjects too!
There are so many misconceptions surrounding black holes, and that's mainly because we rely too heavily ('cuse pun), on a 'gravity based' model to try and understand this f**ken amazing Universe we all find ourselves inhabiting, and we tend to exclude the electrical nature of the universe entirely.
Electricity and its ever present magnetic fields have far more influence on the dynamics of the Universe than the feeble force of gravity, and until cosmologists realise this they will continue to make up absurd theories, (read fairytales), for things they don't understand.
Here's something to keep in mind... When Isaac Newton was pondering his apple and sussing out his laws on gravity, he didn't have a juicer, or an ipod, or even a computer. Why not? No electricity stupid! In fact, he knew almost nothing about electromagnetic fields, plasmas, double layers, electrostatics etc, except that when you happened to rub amber and wool together, or when you were lucky enough to stroke a pussy with certain objects in the dark, sparks would fly! (pussy cat! Don't be so filthy:-). And so, here we are hundreds of years later still using these original gravity models, and not pausing to see where we may have gone wrong, or where we can improve on older theories by including our new knowledge of the electromagnetic forces and plasma fields that pervade all of space. This practice has led to some of the stupidest ideas in astrophysics including the concept of black holes and missing dark matter in our day and age. It seems to me our scientists were more on to it back in the mid to late 1800's with their ideas of an all pervading aether, except they just didn't understand its properties correctly. Anyway, for those interested in getting closer to the truth about this whole black hole biz, check this link out for another point of view. Cheers:-) Spaceguru. http://www.holoscience.com/news.php?article=tyybhr r8

I guess you can't teach some old dogs new tricks! Isn't it better for science to keep an open mind than to 'believe' anything? It's called progress.
