All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Clive Tickner(Southwold, United Kingdom (GB)):
Black holes have become the icons of modern astrophysics — mysterious objects that swallow light, warp spacetime, and ripple the universe with gravi-tational waves. Yet the very features attributed to them invite serious ques-tions.
If black holes cannot be seen, why are they so often depicted with fiery rings and luminous jets? The explanation given is that the matter outside the event horizon superheats as it falls inward, producing the brilliant accretion disks we ‘observe’. But this raises the paradox: if we see the fire, are we not al-ready seeing the hole? And if all light is dragged in, how do such radiant structures persist?
Equally problematic is the claim that black holes can pull in photons. Pho-tons, having no mass, should not be subject to a gravitational tug. The ortho-dox answer invokes spacetime curvature again: light follows “geodesics” around the hole. But this is geometry, not physics — an abstraction repack-aged as causation.
Then there are gravitational waves, allegedly produced when two black holes collide. These waves are said to propagate across billions of light years, un-touched by intervening matter, un-scattered, un-muddled, until they strike Earth and jiggle LIGO’s mirrors by less than the width of a proton. How do such delicate ripples traverse crowded cosmic space without degradation, on-ly to be stopped dead in thick concrete? How do countless overlapping waves from countless collisions not create an incoherent roar?
The mythology of black holes relies heavily on metaphor, on unseen hori-zons, and on assigning physical action to mathematical surfaces. To treat them as literal objects that swallow light, radiate rings, and send unattenuat-ed waves across the universe is to trade common-sense physics for belief.
Black holes are puzzles made of paradoxes. They deserve questioning, not worship.

Steve Olah(Laguna Woods, United States):
We can't measure what doesn't exist.
Light speed is c relative to the local ether, because ether is the carrier substance of light, similar to air is the carrier substance of sound. If an observer is moving relative to the local ether, then his observations will be different.
Let me add that c is not a universal speed limit. It is the speed of light in the local ether. For example, matter is ejected from giant black holes at superluminal speeds. There is difficulty measuring the speed, because information transmittal is limited to the speed of c.
