[QUOTE="DontTreadOnMike, post: 56624203, member: 257015"] Notice the date of this quote. How many things have been discovered since then? Albert Einstein refused to accept quantum mechanics all together. [B]He was wrong.[/B] Period. So what? WHo is this guy? What in the world is a "natural philosopher" and how does that qualify him to comment on physics? We don't yet understand exactly what happens at the point of singularity. If you read the quote above (which I doubt you did), he covered that already. Particles are object. And that's the cool thing about science. It doesn't matter WHO says what, only what is said. Einstein's theories on general relativity were a great contribution to science, but he was wrong about quantum mechanics. And that's ok. Appeals to authority don't carry any weight, only what is said. The scientific consensus is that black holes exist. Some scientists might disagree, but it's up to them to give a better explanation for the things we see happening in the universe. Oh that's right, you probably haven't heard, there is actually physical evidence that seems to point to the existence of black holes. They're not just equations on blackboards anymore. ALL OF THAT SAID, I didn't really want this to be a debate thread. [/QUOTE]
