If black holes are accompanied by jets of energy out of their poles then they can no longer be called "black holes." If anything can get out then they must be something short of a black hole; like a huge neutron star. Mitch Raemsch
From: TheSecondDerivative on 3 Aug 2010 14:43 It is actually a theory that the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole. I read it on Wikipedia, so it's real. Here's the exact quote: "Observational data suggests that supermassive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies."

May be it is the measuring instruments that are being affected? Assuming the measuring device has weight, would not its operation be affected affected by gravity (even if minutely)? In other words, may be the "needles" (in whatever form) are just heavier and therefore move slower? > Since I don't accept the reality of event horizons your fisrt > question is off the mark and would be better posed to someone who > believes they exist. > To your second point the speed of light is taken to be 300,000 km > per sec in the near perfect vacuum of space.

But of course this is nonsense that proves wrong those who think we are seeing black holes. Mitch Raemsch

Look up the three definitions for speed of light, meter and second. http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?c|search_for=speed+of+light http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/meter.html http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/second.html |
