I'm confused here..black holes are theoretical..but now they are directly seeing things interacting with them

I like the way it goes straight back. I only saw that was a tradition at the weekend. (You don't keep another teams home run ball.)

No really theoretical, the maths says they have to exist. As for observation; they've been looking for the effects of black holes for years, I didn't realise they'd found anything this...obvious (I was aware there's a lot of work going on to see the effects of the black hole at the centre of the milky way; didn't realise they had such good results looking elsewhere).

There's been direct evidence for something like twenty years through observing a few specific galaxies. They can tell by the speed of rotation of stars around the cores there has to be a certain amount of matter within a certain amount of space and the only thing that fits is a black hole. Current thinking is there is a black hole at the centre of every galaxy. Problem is they are almost impossible to observe because there's a lot of stars and dust in the way as you get more central, and despite their names, all that matter spinning into the black hole generates so much energy they are actually incredibly bright objects. It'd be like trying to see a fly while looking into the glare of a billion headlights.

Remember that for centuries the astronomers were convinced without any question that the planets were held in place by giant crystal balls..they found evidence where there was none and thought it had to be true because there was no other logical explanation

black holes are, by their nature, not directly observable. you can only determine that one is present by the effect it has on the matter around it, and the presence of certain things like X-Rays where there is no discernable source. if, at some point some bright spark comes up with a more acceptable theory for what we observe to be happening than the current one, then the new one will be used. science, folks!

Well; "The day of the test came, and McWilliams duly went along to the police firing range with a friend who was also trying for a permit. The targets were half-size cut-outs of assailants, positioned seven yards (6.4m) away. McWilliams fired a series of shots with a .357 magnum, all of which landed in the heart region of his target."... that's that.

Just reading this and was amazed to find that the push buttons in a certain junction in London don't do anything on sundays because the local jewish community lobied that they are not allowed to operate electrical machinery on that day...theyre just making this shit up now.

Started watching Breaking Bad.

After one episode:

"I should cook meth"

Yeah, that whole plot device of showing you what the show will be about in the pilot episode. It's been done too often.
