  1. You should learn the difference between proof, and a very questionable composite image.

  2. It is... Composite, computer-generated image.

  3.  @enadegheeghaghe6369  It's questionable because of the distance and the fact it isn't a true photograph. It's a composite image that has been altered in many ways.

  4. Define spacetime. Space and time are not objects. They are concepts. You can't warp a concept.

  5.  @DavidVillaTorre  Exactly. Spacetime is a concept, not an object. Mathematical models cannot be warped like objects. Mathematical models do not exist anywhere in the universe besides the human imagination.

  6. Light doesn't move. Only objects move. Light is a disturbance in the Aether that propagates only in straight lines.

  7. Light doesn't orbit anything. It's not an object. It's a disturbance in the Aether, and only propagates in straight lines.

  8.  @h.dejong2531  Mainstream physicists don't even understand gravity. Dark matter had to be invented because there's not enough visible mass to explain the rotation of galaxies. Light is not an emission, any more than ripples in a pond.

  9.  @minhngotuan3607  How do lenses and fiber optics prove that light (which has no mass) orbits a black hole? I'll wait.

  10.  @minhngotuan3607  Lol, that's a quote from Tesla... Light is a sound wave (disturbance) in the Aether. Perhaps you must be smarter than Tesla? 😂

  11.  @minhngotuan3607  There is no escaping the Aether. It must pervade every square Planck length of the universe, for disturbances to propagate through it.

  12.  @minhngotuan3607  It's not just that Tesla probably had a higher IQ than you by many orders of magnitude, it's that he contributed more to the science of electromagnetism (light) than anyone alive today.

  13.  @minhngotuan3607  Disturbances in the Aether DO move through objects, like glass, and water.

  14.  @minhngotuan3607  I don't claim to have all the answers, but I haven't seen any evidence that light is an emission or that there are little light particles flying around the universe and orbiting black holes. That's insane. Light can't be affected by gravity if it has no mass or physical existence. I like Walter Russell's model best, even though I haven't completely mastered it. I think everything is part of a single lattice of cubic wave fields. Objects are simulated by motion of electric rings.

  15.  @minhngotuan3607  Disturbances aren't unstoppable. An opaque object processes a higher energy disturbance and creates lower intensity disturbances in the form of heat or visible lights reflections. But the reflected disturbance is not a series of particles bouncing around like ping pong balls.

  16.  @minhngotuan3607  Light is not a thing. It can't possess energy, which is also not a thing. If you put zero in that equation for mass, you get zero energy.

  17.  @minhngotuan3607  I think it would be more accurate to say light IS energy. Disturbances have the potential to do work, especially when they interfere constructively with other disturbances.

  18.  @minhngotuan3607  Visible light and heat are both just disturbances with different frequency.

  19.  @minhngotuan3607  Are you asking how does matter interact with the Aether? In Russell's model, matter is just an illusion created by high speed motion of the medium. When motion ceases, matter ceases to exist. Others have described matter as hard light, or a self-contained and self-perpetuating disturbance. As matter impinges on other matter (friction), it creates more disturbances (heat, infrared radiation). That would be my guess at least.

  20. Light is never bent. It is a disturbance in the Aether and can only propagate in straight lines.

  21.  @Ryan_gogaku  The sky isn't blue, and the sun isn't yellow. It all depends on your frame of reference. There are no objective colors in nature, and there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about composite images. Data can intentionally be removed and filtered to achieve the desired result, and the subject matter is extremely far away.

  22.  @Ryan_gogaku  All converging on what conclusion? The composite image shows a ring of light. Big deal. Just because there's a ring of material around the eye of a hurricane doesn't mean there's a supermassive object in the middle. Check out the Norway spiral video if you'd like to see a 'black hole' magically appear in our atmosphere.

  23.  @enadegheeghaghe6369  I don't disagree with any of that, nor did I ever say the image was inaccurate, but there's a big difference between a composite image formed by a single brain or camera from 20ft away, versus an image formed by radio waves received from thousands of light years away by multiple antennas positioned at vastly different distances from the location in question. I would be equally skeptical if someone said they photographed a donut on the Moon.

  24.  @Ryan_gogaku  First of all, you need to define black hole, because the experts can't seem to agree whether it's a region or an object or a singularity. By your logic, since we have radar and satellite evidence of debris orbiting the eye of a hurricane, that means the eye of a hurricane is also a supermassive object, right? 😂
    1
  25.  @Ryan_gogaku  Is that your contention? ... That objects only orbit other objects?
    1
  26.  @Ryan_gogaku  They were pretty simple questions. Is a black hole an object or region? And does the fact that material is orbiting a region, prove that the region contains a lot of mass?

  27.  @WorksopGimp  What about Thornhill? He is a person with physical existence, and can be warped (deformed). For something to be warped, bent, or deformed, it must first have PHYSICAL existence. This is not complicated. Space and time do not exist anywhere in the universe as physical objects and combining the two words doesn't make spacetime magically become an object. Please keep your science fiction fairy tales out of physics.

  28. Individuals are incredible. The human race is not.

  29. Light is not an object and has no mass. It is completely irrational to say it can be bent. There's nothing to bend.

  30. I wonder how many solar masses are in the eye of a hurricane?

  31. How much matter is in the eye of a hurricane?

  32. There's no such thing as a photon. That's as idiotic as thinking there are particles of sound.

  33. Even better question... how many solar masses are in the eye of a hurricane?
    1
  34.  @rogerhuston8287  If it's such a simple question, you should be able to answer. Surely the material orbiting the eye of a hurricane proves that there must be a massive object in the center, right? 😂
