On another note, this is what I got when I clicked on one of the sponsored links from this thread:

Q: But don't we know all about the gravity of Black
Holes and how even light can't escape?

A: No. This often-repeated error is based on a simple oversight.
Black Holes are said to form when a star expends its nuclear
energy and collapses. But starlight only shines from intact,
functioning stars, of course. There is no more reason to
expect light to shine from Black Holes than from a burnt-out,
smashed light bulb. This is a commonly repeated error in
plain view that is intended to showcase and dramatize our
scientists' deep understanding of Black Holes and gravity, but
which actually exposes how little they truly understand about
either.
The only problem with that piece of rubbish is that everything radiates some kind of electromagnetic radiation - infrared, UV, whatever...except for black holes...*sigh*

Oh, and this presents itself as a "new theory of science" that will change the scientific world for ever.
