FinkyFishFace, how do you know? Have you studied event horizons or black holes? When did you go into outerspace? Probably 99% of what we "know" about outerspace is theoretical at best. You might be right, but you had better be able to back that up with truth before you say someone's theories are invalid.

w00zy, infamy is a negative word. According to Oxford dictionary it means the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed.

w00zy, actually the person who said "this day will live in infamy" was FDR. It was the day after the attack at Park Harbor and he was declaring war against Japan.

In nineteenth century, people of the whole world actually didn't believe that a thing like blackhole could exist. But Albert Einstein's The theory of relativity predicted that a very massive object like a blackhole can survive and keep its existence clear to us in the universe. Normally a blackhole is a very massive object. Even a primordial blackhole which's size is almost equal to a city of our earth is more massive and heavier than the sun!

I read his book A Brief History of Time. It was great. Given enough time, a black hole can evaporate via Hawkins Radiation. Odd to think, but true (assuming you have trillions of years).

Player #38618593, that's not the scientific definition of theory. What you are referring to in science is called a hypothesis. The common definition of theory does not apply here.
