Naked eye observers?
When the scientists tell you to look at it through
a half inch steel plate, you know it’s not going
to be good.

That would be a GREAT tagline!

America isn’t in The Bible.

Therefore we do not exist.

Q.E.D.

Somehow, this sounds vaguely racist...

The ONLY REASON that the thought of racism comes to mind when discussing COSMOLOGY is due to one thing. Barack (Steve, Barry) Obama.

In real life, there is no such thing as a black hole

Well.... actually there is such a thing as a black hole, and we can actually see it (them). They are called sunspots (currently).

The current so called 'black holes' are not black holes at all. They are a misunderstanding of the Universe as based on Gravity rather than on Electricity. No scientist yet has been able to explain the Universe based on Gravity, without having to make up stuff like black holes , dark matter and dark energy to explain why the DATA on mass vs. gravity DO NOT WORK.

When things fall into a black hole, do they fall in from the TOP ?

If you could go to the opposite side of where things were falling in, what would you see?

I could buy all of that other than the thing about sunspots, unless you’re merely using the term ‘black hole’ in a visual sense. I’d assumed sunspots were plasma-physics dead spots of some sort.

Then us naked-eye observers could cast our glace in the general direction of the event.

PUt yer clothes back on and go inside, as it's WAY to faint for a human eye to pickup.

Well, DUH! there are no black holes in The Bible.

Lazurus and the rich man may have a slightly different take on it.

Black Hole = a mass SO large that the gravity won't even let LIGHT escape. ANYTHING that falls into that mass ain't EVER gonna come out again.

Great Gulf Fixed = Luke 16: 26

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

If it eats stars, let's harness it and turn it loose on Hollyweird. Start movie stars, then move on down to rap stars...

That was exactly what I meant.

I’d assumed sunspots were plasma-physics dead spots of some sort.

I believe that assumption is correct.
