You will probably recall from previous discussions that I have serious misgivings about singularities, or any scenario in which anything can become infinite. However, my scientific knowledge is limited, so I try to keep an open mind.

I take your point, but if at the heart of each BH is a singularity in which gravity is infinite, then even breaking out your calculator will not prevent collision.

The psychologist, Rob Brotherton says: “We [also] suffer from the “illusion of understanding”, a tendency to overestimate our knowledge of how things work”. What he doesn’t mention is that experts almost certainly suffer from a slightly different version of the same “illusion”.

I look forward to an “expert” response to your reasoning. smile


There never was nothing.
