A Thread is born. A grand future can be seen. Such hope.
Three messages, one of them administrivia, then WHAM! The stupid rains. Percy, Can you code in some test to be administered to all members to rate the level of stupid they bring in here when they sign up? Something like: Not Too Stupid, Stupid, Intellectually Terminal. Then mods can assign the level of stupid required to participate in a thread upon its promotion. This one should have been restricted to Not Too Stupid. All other ratings would have been barred from participating. This thread is now irrevocably poisoned. It will need a miracle to cure it. Maybe we can get someone to say grace over it? Such promise ... wasted. Please, do note the nice subtitle.

You ignored it for 8 months so you can't really complain when it gets used for idiot baiting I was travelling at the time. I was doing 97.2% light speed. It's only been a few minutes.

But I'm all ears if anyone wants to go forward on a more positive note... Good ... Thank you. As I understand, the latest estimates are closer to 150+- bly diameter. This from the measurements of the ever-so-slight curvature we are seeing. How is this measured? What are the limits within the error bars?

oh, you were making a joke No. At my age time goes by so quickly that 1.88 months is actually just a few minutes.

I owe, I owe, so off to work I went.
I'm not so sure about this. Do you have a reference? Yes. All wrong. After some research (yes, at work) I found this in the Wiki article cited:
quote: Sure enough the cites (16, 17, 18) were my sources. So I struck on the erroneous reports. Did I just lose my Not Too Stupid rating? Have to admit, though, the subtitle is nice, as requested.

Will we ever get mandatory sub-thumbnails? Sorry, this went right past me. Huh?

They are inept at defining their terms and their definitions are contradictory as a result so ultimately it's themselves and not me that they are contradicting. Those outside the club are having a good laugh at the whole thing together with my cat. So 10's of thousands of the most intelligent people in the world over many generations all arrive at the same contradictory and inept conclusions while you and a handful of intellectually stunted crackpots have the inside scoop on the real truth? Sounds familiar. You're not the first nutjob with a deep sense of inferiority coupled with delusions of intellectual grandeur to posit the rest of the real intellectual world is in conspiracy against you. Take solace in the fact that you are not alone in your dementia.

Present your definition of the terms the Universe and expansion so I can examine both of your definitions and see if either is consistent and whether the terms are compatible. No, I don't argue known facts with nutjobs. I'll leave that to those with more patience than I.
Appeals to some superior numbers of allegedly intellectually superior people do nothing but demonstrate the paucity of your own mental capacities, I am sorry to inform you. That's alright, Al. You are not informing me of anything I do not already know. I have no problem recognizing the paucity of my own mental capacities in this subject. When generations of, not just alleged but for real, really smart people say the sun is a star up close and stars are suns far away, the universe is expanding, black holes exist and similar cosmological pronouncements, I have the capability of seeing the logic without the capability of reproducing the decades of study. On the other side, Sir, you cannot seem to recognize your own glaring paucity in the face of a great body of work and feel some sad necessity to degrade the stellar intellectual work of thousands over generations while holding your own obviously deficient musings as somehow superior. You're a sad little man, Al.

I know precisely why these things are physically impossible and absurd and I can formulate what I know well enough. Obviously not since you continue to fail to do so. Show me your proof on the impossibility of black holes. I can handle the math, I assure you. List your equations and where you differ from Hawking. Then publish your work and buy a ticket to Stockholm.

Also there is no need for any maths to begin with because the impossibility of black holes is not any question of maths- it is a conceptual issue So you have nothing but your incredulity and a few fellow, and well known, crackpots. Typical.

First, infinities may not exist in any concrete, countable physical shape for the science to deal with. They are either nothing or pure potentialities. That is elementary maths, in spite of whatever some mathemagicians starting from Cantor might have said to the contrary and that puts firmly paid to the idea of singularities in any way, shape or form. Infinities? Who said anything about infinities? No one who knows what they are talking about postulates any infinities about a black hole? If you are trying to refer to a popular misconception of a signularity then you are far into left field, just where a crackpot would stand. See my Message 182.
Next I doubt very much that the relationship between density, mass and gravity and light is of the kind postulated by the black holes hypothesis. There could be an increase of density only up to a certain limit. So you doubt that a greater mass equates to a greater gravity? Your crackpot is showing. Anyway, I have caught myself here. As I said prior I will not argue known facts of science with a crackpot. I am done here. Edited by AZPaul3, : spelin thing.
