Here's a quote from ScienceNews;
Out of hundreds of thousands of stars that looked like they were tugged by an unseen object, just one seemed like a good black hole candidate.
Essentially hundreds of thousands of anomalies. Sounds more like they discovered a serious error with the theory.
Good catch. Certainly if black holes are as ubiquitous as the mainstream seems to allege, you'd think more than one of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of, as you say, “anomalies” would be due to a black hole. Maybe this is just a case of the mainstream searching through the stack of peculiar stars to find ANY they can make *fit* their pre-conceived belief in black holes, rather than truly understanding what is causing all these anomalies.
I noted that today Eric Mack at Forbes published an article (
https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2 ... 1f0f545160 ) titled “Newfound Closest Black Hole To Earth Has Astronomers Baffled”. It admits that “What makes the system weird is that it doesn’t fit into scientists’ current understanding of how black holes form. BH1 is massive enough that it should have swelled into a supergiant early in its life as a star. In fact, it should have been swollen enough to consume its companion star long before that neighbor was able to mature into the sun-like star it is today.” It quotes an astrophysicist, Kareem El-Badry, saying “It is interesting that this system is not easily accommodated by standard binary evolution models. It poses many questions about how this binary system was formed, as well as how many of these dormant black holes there are out there.” Maybe that’s a clue that they don’t really know what they are seeing?
The article then ends with this …
It’s perhaps that last question that is of more interest to most humans. And even more importantly, are there more of these dormant black holes nearby? Finally, and most importantly, is it ever possible for one to awaken from a dormant phase?
Let’s especially focus on that last question, please.
And again I must ask … WHY? What could the authorities do about it anytime soon?
