Well, yes, it was predicted (by some British chaps I believe) and theoretically almost beyond doubt , but now it's been proven (by ze Germans ).Originally posted by AlfredJPruffock View PostBut we have known this for some time.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

It was the European Space Agency Integral mission that was amongst the first to postulate this theory during its research into Gamma Rays - they realised that the centre of our Galaxy was a source for Gamma Rays and then postulated that as Black Holes generate massive amounts of gamma rays - therefore a black hole was at the hub of our Galaxy.Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 10 December 2008, 15:02.Comment

Isn’t this a bit of a non story? It’s a bit like saying ‘The sun has been confirmed as hot’ or ‘The earth is flat… now it’s official’.
Except they’re still only guessing really, a black hole is still just theoretical but nothing else fits the equation so it must be correct.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Reading it to the end it looks like you're right and my original hypothesis zat ze Germans are acting clever seems to hold water.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostIsn’t this a bit of a non story?

They'll be claiming it as lebensraum next.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
