A reading of the article “The Madness of Black Holes” by Wal Thornhill. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone.
Scientists are people and not immune to the madness of crowds. Ideas that appear folly initially may with time and a growing clamor of consensus delude people into believing it is a new “truth.”
Black holes highlight a situation, common in astrophysics, where the object under investigation cannot be detected directly. This is pure heaven for the crowd of mathematical theorists—who have hijacked physics from the natural philosophers and experimentalists—who depend on Einsteinian “thought experiments.”
Granted that, problems arise when thoughts are governed by a limited set of beliefs or dogmas and unchecked by direct observation or experiment. The result can be—and generally is—pure science fiction.
