Black hole "rings"—that ain't science

[Metryq]

"Ring-shaped black holes were 'discovered' by theoretical physicists in 2002, but this is the first time that their dynamics have been successfully simulated using supercomputers."

Math is Truth™. This is what now passes for "science" and "research."

LMAO, I'm surprised they weren't claiming the gravity was so intense that there is a statistical chance of unicorns popping out.....SMH.

They don't say that because there is an equal chance of anti-unicorns popping out, and the unicorns mutually annihilate with the anti-unicorns almost instantly.

Black hole rings are clever hoops.
If they can get the right people to jump through them, they're in for a fat grant, and they get to build their unicorn detector.

The 'lie' is hidden in plain view, in the title.

Ring-shaped black holes were 'discovered' (in quotation marks, because not really discovered) by theoretical physicists...

And second half of the sentence is made out to sound like "discovery confirmed".

Besides that.
Gravity vectors to a point, the center of gravity. Forms spheres.
Torus shapes are created by electrical forces. Van Allen belts.

.....theoretical physicists...

.... rhetorical physicists....?

Theoretically, they're physicists...
