To enforce the obviously right ones, sure. A la Rosa Parks.

Fascinating. The site looks really polished, even the favicon. Good work.

But the people who'd review the idea would care about that, so they might refuse to review it as "too nutty". Plate tectonics might have fit into that category, although of course it did reach general acceptance when the evidence became ove

An "almost black hole" also predicted by Einstein's theory predicts the same observation, as an effect of gravitational time dilation. The non-black-hole theory that fits the evidence is the tweak you replied to. As I said, it fits all the

There's no resolution in that link. It's still an open issue. All the proposed solutions raise other serious problems, as the link info notes.

No, if it was an "almost black hole" as predicted by general relativity, they wouldn't see EM radiation, due to gravitational time dilation. The "almost black hole" might emit a single photon only once every 100 years in our time.

Don't forget dark energy, also (like dark matter) invented to fit the observations. How many hundreds of $millions of taxpayer money will be spent searching for it? These inventions are keeping many scientists employed, it seems. If they we

That makes the point you're replying to. "The most straightforward explanation for our observations is that these objects have event horizons and, therefore, are black holes." No, another even more straightforward explanation is that it's j

Black holes are not the only theory which fits the evidence we have. Simply add 2M to the first 2 r's in the Schwarzschild metric (the equation used to confirm black holes), and you get a metric that fits all the evidence but doesn't predic

We have logical evidence that contradicts current models, namely the black hole information loss paradox, a real paradox.

Here's what really happened: Wells Fargo checked out your income and determined that you'd likely keep paying them 6+% if they said no. Yes you should check out lots of other banks. After all, you're paying them nothing right now, so you're

A decent hypnotherapist can kick-start one. You can visit past lives, future lives, and in-between lives too.

Lucid dreaming and related out of body experiences have made me realize that the universe we're in is likely an elaborate illusion. That's because the dreams/OBEs are just as real as here, at least while they last. If you can't distinguish
