No Black Holes

[Carleas]

This short article reports that scientists from Case Western Reserve University claim that black holes are impossible. From the article (emphasis mine):

As Einstein demonstrated in his Theory of General Relativity, a passenger inside a spaceship traveling toward a black hole would feel the ship accelerating, while an outside observer would see the ship slow down. When the ship reached the event horizon, it would appear to stop, staying there forever and never falling in toward oblivion. In effect, Krauss says, time effectively stops at that point, meaning time is infinite for black holes. If black holes radiate away their mass over time, as Hawking showed, then they should evaporate before they even form, Krauss says. It would be like pouring water into a glass that has no bottom. In essence, physicists have been arguing over a trick question for 40 years.

Interesting. One of the most interesting things I find is how well the idea can be conveyed in every day language, considering it was ‘proven’ through the use of “a lengthy mathematical formula.”
