NASA Finding Bolsters Indian Theory on Black Hole

NASA Finding Bolsters Indian Theory on Black HoleBangalore, Nov 24 (IANS) An Indian astrophysicist says the recent observation by NASA scientists of giant flares of X-rays from a black hole confirms his theory that the so-called black holes are not "true" black holes but actually ultra hot balls of fire like our Sun.

According to mainstream astrophysicists, extremely massive stars collapse into ultra-compact objects called black holes whose gravitational field is so powerful that even light cannot escape from its imaginary boundary called "event horizon".

Naturally, it came as a surprise when NASA announced last month that two of its space telescopes caught a huge burst of X-ray spewing out of a super massive black hole.

 

What is unique about this giant flare is it appeared to be triggered by the eruption of a massive corona (charged particles) from the "black hole". If nothing can get out of a black hole, how did the corona come out of it?

Abhas Mitra -- till recently head of theoretical astrophysics at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai and currently Adjunct Professor at the Homi Bhabha National Institute -- says NASA's observation has only bolstered his theory that "true" black holes do not exist and that the so-called black holes are in fact hot balls of magnetized plasma (ionized
gas stripped of electrons).
