Mizar said:Of course that's not direct evidence, how does a gravitational effect directly prove that it's a Black Hole that's causing it? It could be anything, like a neutron star, a white dwarf or something we don't even know about.
Hum, I'm not gonna argue on this right now, but there are many things that prove to 99% black holes existence, I think it's better we continue with PMs, anyway, there's a room for scepticism, like for every theory.
Mizar said:To you perhaps it doesn't, but I'm sure Stephen Hawking doesn't see the problem with these type of calculations himself. And if you think this isn't very accurate, I wonder what your thoughts are on (super)string theory.
Actually, I wasn't talking about the theory itself here but about the only way we have to check it, which almost everyone, including Mr. Hawking, consider inaccurate. As for the string and superstring theories, well, they solve the quantum mechanics / general relativity incompatibility, just for that, they imho deserve consideration.
Mizar said:Not only are there only shades of gray, the kind of shades are also different from person to person, culture to culture and time to time.
Well, are we in agreement now? ;D
Well, let's just say that everyone has its own way of judging things, people and acts, which is different from others. It means yeah, we're in agreement ;D.
