Black holes should be renamed to Einstein Holes or Schwarzschild holes or Space Time Holes, or just Event Horizons
For a while in the early(ish) days of general relativity studies they were called frozen stars, because to a distant observer events near the event horizon appear to slow down in time and they stop at the horizon. The word frozen is also apt because a black hole of larger than sub-atomic size is staggeringly cold (unlike any material swirling round it of course).Last edited by OwlHoot; 23 June 2021, 21:34.Leave a comment:

"Einstein himself wrongly thought black holes would not form, because he held that the angular momentum of collapsing particles would stabilize their motion at some radius.[123] This led the general relativity community to dismiss all results to the contrary for many years. However, a minority of relativists continued to contend that black holes were physical objects,[124] and by the end of the 1960s, they had persuaded the majority of researchers in the field that there is no obstacle to the formation of an event horizon."

Now black holes in space are racist too? Cornell launches 'race and the cosmos' course to prove a connection between scientific terms and racial blackness' using music by Outkast and Janelle Monae- Cornell is offering a new course titled Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos
- The course 'will introduce students to the fundamentals of astronomy through readings in Black Studies,' according to its website
- It will use works like music by Outkast and Janelle Monae to prove the connection
- The term 'black hole' was first used to describe the light-swallowing space masses in 1967
- Black holes were first predicted by Einstein in his Theory of General Relativity in 1916
