That is a ridiculous statement. Black Holes have never been seemed formed, that is true, but they have been "seen" as well as an object that doesn't allow light waves to exit can be seen. I would bet, not just my life, but the existence of humanity on the existence of black holes. The scientific evidence for an object with the amount of gravitational force required to create acceleration greater than or equal to the speed of light is hard to discount.Renegade_Turner wrote:I find it hilarious there's actually people worried about black holes forming when black holes are theoretical things which no one has ever seen.

Correct. They exist just as much as you do.
..you do exist, right?

well now you have ventured from the physical to the philosophical...

Re: End of the world
yeah i never actually believed it, but the idea of the world being sucked into itself appeals to me so its fun to pretend

Re: End of the world
Nonsense, they are still theoretical. That is a given. Nothing is certain, you shouldn't jump into things with two feet. People would have wagered the existence of humanity that the world was flat.Eric wrote:That is a ridiculous statement.

Re: End of the world
ummm...okay Renegade...okay...
You're mom is completely right to laugh at people who think a black hole could come from this experiment, that doesn't mean she was trying to say that people who believe in black holes are wrong. If she is a physics teacher I would guess she believes they exist. If not I would not want to be taught physics by her.

Re: End of the world
I never inferred that she held the same opinions I did, nor did I say I think black holes don't exist. However, I did say they are theoretical. Tee-o-rett-ik-al.
How you jumped to that whole host of conclusions I'm really not sure. That's a bad habit, you should cut it out.
Also, my mother is a well-respected and hard-working teacher at her school. I can say with some certainty you'll never know as much as my mother about Physics, so kindly STFU.

Re: End of the world
I see where Ren is going with this. The whole "Nothing is certain" thing is true, the only real thing you can prove is that you exist. Unless you don't. Point is that you can't PROVE that black holes exist, and you shouldn't be afraid of something that might not even be real.

Re: End of the world
Than what have we seen in outer space if black holes are not real?
Re: End of the world
Vast round spaces with nothing to see for infinity.

Um. Colic?
Black holes suck in all light.
YOU CAN'T SEE THEM. That's why they're called "Black Holes".
According to Steven Hawking if the machine works it will create lots of black holes, but they will be so small that they'll collapse on themselves all most instantly.
In other words- Machine is theoretically safe.
