Meanwhile real scientists are searching for a paradigm shift away from "mathemagics", which routinely employs the concept of infinity to "prove" anything you like. ![]() A black hole, for instance, has finite mass concentrated at its "singularity". The singularity has zero volume and infinite density. ![]() The black hole has no gravitational force, only space-time curvature. There is infinite curvature at the singularity, which means infinite gravity. A finite mass is located in zero volume, it has infinite density and it has infinite gravity. Do you think any such thing exists? A black hole has never been observed. If a theorist is unable to discover real objects, which cause the observed effects, it is unscientific – indeed, it is fraudulent – to invent unreal objects and present them as a "factual" discovery of the cause of those effects. ![]() More than a billion dollars has been spent on gravitational wave detectors so far but it is reported that the European Space Agency is planning a multibillion-dollar probe to be launched in about 17 years that would look for gravitational waves from space. How about some real investigative reporting in physics instead of showbiz? There's a great deal of public money to be saved, not least on Cox's show.
