Farmerman does it really seem scientifically logical to believe in all of these black holes when we see the light from stars so unobstructed coming to the earth over billions of light years travel?

It would almost prove likewise that space is so perfectly free of obstruction and distortion...


Throwing quotes out to attain a cachet of wisdom for oneself is really a lame and a rather easy way to proceed . . . it is so easily done . . .

There is none so blind as he who will not see.

See how easy it is?


Well I like your quote and would not use it to accuse you of trying to put on airs...

I quote many sources just because I quote the Bible does no mean I think I am God... That would be idolatry... I needed a place to slip that quote in and I thought that was a perfect place... Smile

You don't seem to understand the nature of the distortions. It's not as though one expects an image resembling an out-of-focus camera. The light is "bent," but resumes its straight-line travel upon leaving the field of the mass which has distorted its path.

then we would see galaxies superimposed....

I believe that light is both a particle and a wave and it cannot pass through any mass without being diffused.

When we're looking at something from a great distance, we are seeing an entire galaxy as a pinpoint in the night sky. How would we be able to tell what's happened to the light along the way?

For this to occur, a photon has to enter the event horizon, and it doesn't come to us. But so what? Light from a distant galaxy doesn't pass through an intervening star to reach us, either.

Here is "religious" picture I made two days ago when I was pondering light and the stars... I hope this does not seem so totally out of place... Beware if you have problems with Christian symbols...

Notice how light can be changed...

True and stars do not also absorb space and time which would only throw off the true actual picture of the universe... As you said stars do not block off the pictures they are only a few pixels but a black hole would have to be a "perfect" total mirror in every direction... and allow the light to pass through and I do not think that is possible in physics... Is a black hole the size of a thimble? You may see that some of these "scientific" theories are even a taller tales than burning bushes...

You can call it a black hole I will liken it to "cloaked energy" or... God... Smile

Can light pass through matter unchanged?

I guess I am just thinking out loud trying to figure this out...

Black holes would have to be very tiny to not be seen....

I guess I am just trying to get the magnitude of how big a black hole would be.. and imagine what it would be like...

Like an interstellar tornado sucking up galaxies and stars? I would think that light would not pass through something like that... How small would it be in size? An orange or cantaloupe?

Inasmuch as you continue to make statements from authority, which demonstrate that you haven't understood what has been explained here, or are willfully ignoring what is told you, and continue to restate what others have stated, in contradictory or simply fanatasy terms bearing no real relationship to the explanations which were offered, it is small wonder that you fail to understand what a theory is, and equate a therory with the superstitious nonsense written thousands of years ago by a nomadic tribe only newly emerged from illiteracy.

Why does light have to pass through anything?

There is an individual who thinks that when neutron stars reach critical density they become, instead of a black hole, a "dark energy star." ( http://uplink.space.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=freespace&Number=185601&page=4&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart= ) The direct link to nature.com would be shorter, but I'm not sure if you can get it without a subscription (I've got one by proxy ) I hesitate to think what you might read into this...

It's got nothing to do with the night sky not looking like it should though.

It certainly looks like this X-ray sensitive observatory (Chandra) is finding a lot of expected black hole stuff, though: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/news/news/releases/2004/04-212.html

Again, not anything I know anything about.

rex red, As patiodog stated ,... IN THE VAST EMPTINESS OF SPACE...A black hole (there are a few kinds, none of which have been seen yet) that exist. We measure their effects by the proximity to their cores that light isw bent (and we can see) . I am aware from my own reading that black holes are temporary features that complete the life of star.
Yourthinking way too linearly.
Youve gotta invest some time studying about this , youre not going to get quick e-bytes to give you an understanding that may take much more investment than merely placing your opinions on a PBB.

Your mind seems quick , but youre wont to make some rather bizarre connections between science disciplines and among disciplines and scriptural references.Most of them i feel that, while I support your journey, I think you need to take some major driving lessons.You seem to be adept at autocorrelation which simply stated means that because A happens alot and B happens a lot A and B are not necessarily related in any fashion.

I heard it once said faith spans the gap between science and God...

I will rephrase that as, faith picks up where science leaves off... The problem is where does science leave off? If is constantly changing and redefining the way it interfaces with faith... This requires a dynamic position with God... A positions that retains it's basic constitute with God but can change as science enlightens us with more of it's discoveries...

I have a question... What is more important to a scientist, progress or humanity?

By better threads are you talking about the ones that blindly follow what you want? That is no fun... or I get it... you just don't like God and refuse to let others express their view. After all you have nothing anyone can teach you...

Well I will tell you there are more people that believe in God in this world then don't... That kind of makes your argument rather flimsy... I am sure they are all wrong and you are right... So go find these "better threads" and I might remind you AGAIN this is a RELIGION and spirituality thread... This is where both worlds science and religion can meet without the stigma of either discipline overrunning the other... Where better people come to compare ideas... My Bible says God in the beginning created the heavens and the earth until you can "prove" otherwise please hold your peace...

I would also if I were you apologize for insulting the people in this thread be it me or anyone else... And if you cannot add content to the post and just want to sit back and insult peoples perspectives without providing any reason to the contrary other than an insulting comeback... Have you even read back in the post? Well I have read it all...
