And again comments that try to question the sense of all the fairy tales get censored by the "peer" review fortress:Forum Moderator wrote:This appeared to be a somewhat separate topic from the original thread, so it has been split out and moved to the Net Talk section of the forum and named appropriately.
This is strictly a forum tidying / maintenance action and should not be misconstrued as any sort of criticism of the poster(s) contributing to the split-out portion(s) of the aforementioned thread.

2. Einstein never predicted black holes. Also it is also not a consequence of his GR formula.

Apparently it is fine to speculate about "quark stars" but not about a conservation law for the speed of space (which would be equivalent with conservation of momentum).....Originally Posted by StevenO
GR does not predict anything, since it describes the interaction of a massive particle with itself, which can neither be falsified nor proven.Originally Posted by StevenO
I agree with you on the predictions, but I think these were the result of the Einstein's great intuition, not a mathematical result of his GR formula.
These two statements are simply false, as can be readily verified by reading any textbook on the subject.
Per the rules of this forum your more speculative comments have been deleted. Any future such remarks must be backed up with appropriate references to peer-reviewed journals or standard textbooks. Any messages violating this policy will be subject to deletion without further notice. Continued violation of forum policy will be grounds for banning.

But, hey, is'nt that exactly what was verified by LIGO?

You will not find it as such. Instead you'll find a region of space with a lot of matter in a coherent state and light behaving like it always does.
Sigh...well...let's assume the censoring it is for the good of the physics students....they might develop some ability for critical thinking
