You see, if someone were to have been placed on that
PBS NOVA program to counter that claim would have
simply said. Look, take any region of the Milky Way
where there are a dense population of stars and you will easily find
the same sort of accelerated deflection
and where it is ludicrous to think there is a black-hole
nearby.

You are in error. The stars in question are orbiting a compact region
in space containing 3.6 million solar masses, which is fainter than
the expected brightness of a handful of normal stars. Those facts are
not typical of "any region in the Milky Way," except for the galactic
center.

I am in no error Craig. A huge slight to science was committed by NOVA
when
it aired a "debated black hole theory" without allowing any air time
for alternatives.

Some Harvard et al scientists found MECO's where originally it was
thought to
be black-holes. They published their work and are now focusing on the
Milky Way
center to show that there lies a MECO in our galactic center. A MECO
is not a
black-hole and a MECO does not violate all the laws of physics.

So it is very much preposterous for NOVA to air a full hour of deluded
scientists
who are fixated on black-holes when MECOs exist and are a better
scientific solution.

That entire hour of NOVA rested on a pitiful shred of evidence of
Andrea Ghez's
alleged being able to unscramble fuzzy dots and noise near our very
fuzzy galactic
nucleus of a few meager dots that looked to being accelerated. Well,
hells bells,
I can get the same meager results by looking at almost any binary star
system
where I can find the one star being accelerated. Sirius A and B are
the same setup
as Ghez's and McNamara's accelerated stars in the nucleus, so why not
say that
Sirius A is a black hole.

So for NOVA to delete the MECO work done to date in a program filled
with nothing
but black-hole delusionists is science reporting at its worst.
