Re: The Sci.Physics FAQ on “ Falling into a Black Hole ”:

Many say that Sagittarius A* ( at the center of the Milky Way )
is a “ Black Hole ”; but it's bright in gamma rays ( from anti-matter )
and, technically, it's just a “ highly massive compact object ”.
Although Sgr A*'s mass is 3.7 mega suns,
it's 12.5 light-hours wide ( or less ), so it isn't all that compact.
( Pluto is 5 light-hours from the sun )
General Relativity does Not predict black holes.
Even Stephen Hawking no longer believes in true black holes
( because it doesn't jibe with Quantum Mechanical Path Integerals ).
In 1939, Einstein dismissed black holes thusly:
“ The ‘ Schwarzschild singularity ’ does not appear
for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily.
And this is due to the fact that otherwise
the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light. ”.
You ( Mr. Smith ) told me ( and others ):
“ Your postings will be read by thousands of people.. ”.
