Default An Attractive Proposition

Hey Paine,
In your teté-a-teté with 'Timo', why dontcha throw at him
the 'River Model of Black Holes' which was discussed at graet length
here several times over the last year? It's an upgrade of the old
Painlevé-Gullstrand flowing-space metric, now updated to include black
holes.

Like P-G before them,The authors of the 'River Model'
are fastidious to clarify that it is only a 'heuristic' or allegorical
model and not meant as literal. Their 'River' accelerating into the BH
is depicted as flowing relative to a fixed background space. But as we
hollered, "Cut the bull**** and recognize that the **fixed background
space itself** is what's flowing/ accelerating into the BH. With that
proviso firmly in place, then the 'River Model' is valid for all
gravitation, powered by the the hydrodynamic pressure of the SCO, the
'key in the lock' to unification of all the fundamental forces.
