OT: No black holes? One scientist thinks so...

[Timstone]

Well the adsence of visible proof might just be the proof needed to confirm the excistence of Black Holes.

I mean, because of the extremely high gravitational constant (which increases towards the "middle" of the phenomena) even light is drawn into it. So I think there is enough evidense to say Black Holes exist.

Edit:
No, I haven't read the article... yet.

Ahh but according to this you have 'dark matter/energy stars' which will behave in similar ways.

Although maybe it's my mind playing tricks I do remember some NASA photos from Hubble showing a point in space sucking atmosphere/materials into it. Which I think points towards something black hole like, which even if it's renamed technically will still be a black hole.
