When observations contradict theory it's time to put the thinking caps back on and come up with a new theory. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

Being a scientist, can you prove that such objects are existing and are for real? The question becomes why such objects exist at all and which role they are having when compared to the expansion of the universe. Matter is supposed to be consisting of particles. Because only a small part of this mass is energy by means of radiation, the weight of all particles in the universe, including the radiation being present as well, is a formidable sized number. You should already know that a galaxy may consist of somewhere between 10 billion and 300 billion stars. Also there are several billions of galaxies either on their own or mostly being part of galaxy clusters. In comparison, our brain is only weighing in at a kilogram or two. We are unable of finding any intelligence in the vast universe we are part of, but still think about ourselves as being highly evolved when it comes to both to our minds as well as our technological abilities and skills. This still makes us unique in the universe. This world we are part of has created our abilities to think and dream and make it possible to create tools by means of our hands as well as other means at our disposal. Possibly finding E.T. will prove that we ourselves are not a product of some random coincidence, but rather that evolution as we happen to know it is giving the possibility for such entities being able to exist and other civilizations likely being present around other stars in the Milky Way as well as other galaxies. |

Should better say "chance" instead of "coincidence" in the last paragraph. |

For my money I think the evidence overwhelmingly proves the existence of black holes. Whether or not this recent finding has been established as factual remains to be seen. If it is what they think it is then a lot of previous theories on the formation and growth of supermassive black holes will abandoned and new ones formulated to match what has been observed.

They do have pictures from the dark side of the Moon.. I have Always wondered why English speakers call it the "Dark Side of the Moon". Since the backside moon is lit up about 15 Days per month. We call it the Backside of the Moon:) |
