Science Journals

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

Abstract:

Carlo Rovelli has recently made available a book entitled “White Holes” Inside the Horizon (publisher, Allen Lane). In this he gives his explanation of how these phenomena are formed from the remains of Black Holes. Rovelli provides several quotes from the first part of Dante Alighieri’s 14th- century epic poem “Divine Comedy”, with Virgil (clearly representing reason and wisdom), being the perfect guide through the Inferno, with Rovelli seeing himself as the perfect guide through the ‘hell’ of a Black Hole. It is disappointing to find that Rovelli’s convoluted reasoning provides the most unlikely and unconvincing route for this as-yet-to-be-accepted spectacle.

Thanks Steve, I so agree with the punishment idea. A verbal one is all I can manage!

Steve Olah(Laguna Woods, United States):

Clive,
Thanks for shining light on the Vanna be "experts on Black and White holes.
This should tell the story:
"In 1916, almost immediately after Einstein released his theory of General Relativity, the German physicist Karl Schwarzschild found an exact solution to
the equations that describes what we now know as a Black Hole.
However in a paper written in 1939, Albert Einstein actually rejected the notion
of Black Holes, that his theory of General Relativity and gravity, seemed now to predict."
But Einstein was pleased, that the story was accepted by the highbrow crowd, so he went with it. He accepted fame and money. It should be obvious that if an equation can be resolved into a Black hole, there is problem with the equation. There are no Black holes. And the artist concept drawings are really phony. There should be punishment given out for those.
