Hawking Recants on Black Hole Theory!
Hawking RECANTS on Black Hole Theory!
Stephen Hawking now says that what goes in to a black hole CAN come out! Hawking now says that physical singularities DO NOT EXIST after all! Hawking admits he was WRONG when he theorized that information going into a black hole was lost forever. He has further agreed to PAY OFF on a longstanding bet with a colleague on this matter! This seems to have been a triumph of the ideas of Quantum Gravity. See the article: http://www.nature.com/news/2004/0407...040712-12.html (No, this isn't the April 1st edition of Nature.) See also: http://www.news.com.au/common/story_...5E1702,00.html And for a slightly more sympathetic take: http://in.rediff.com/news/2004/jul/15hawking.htm Simply amazing! Double-A |

Hi Double A We all read Hawking,but best to keep in mind he like the
rest of us will never get the Nobel prize. He even went out of his way to steal another man's theory.(he did apologize) He made that bet with Thorne. Has Penrose commented on this?. How about us hearing from Wheeler,Greene,and some Nobel winners. In 1939 Oppenhiemer theorized black holes. That was before Hawkings was born. Only if I hear from other great brains will I change my mind,and I do think in every direction. Bert |

Hi nightbat you still make me laugh. You accuse me of getting my
thoughts out of readng books. You are so very right. I do read a lot. I can see the reality of the universe's horizon by standing on the shoulders of Nobel prize winners,and men like Brian Greene,and Sagan. Bert |

And then I am back in the room behind the Blackhole where all matter is stored until it bursts at the seams, and gives birth to another big bang, or small one whatever you may wish to think, theory is just that strong idea's usually, but all we have, and lets face it all we are likely to have or obtain until that ultimate understanding of the universe comes along and bites us on the bum. |
