  7. Black holes do not exist (nature.com) on Sea Life Wiped Out by Neutron Star Collision? · · Score: 1
    Black holes do not exist, http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050328/full/050328 -8.html and the idea of two neutron stars running into each other is pretty silly too.

    First, you'd need two neutron stars in the same neighbourhood, then you'd need to line them up precisely to actually hit each other. You have to realize that these things are actually pretty small because they're dense. So the odds of having two neutron stars hit each other by chance is really realy small.

    Paint me skeptical. There's not much evidence of a single neutron star too close to us let alone evidence that two may have hit.

    I guess I'm asking.. 'ok. where's the nearby black hole then?"
