    From the pertubations in the orbits of the usual protagonists I deduce the existence of a stripey black hole.

    Has anyone seen "Black Mass"? Is it worth a watch?

    No-one's seen it. It's presence is only inferred.

    From our perspective, they're just on pause. From their perspective, we've left on fast forward. From my perspective, I didn't like it.

    That's one of the most important scientific discoveries of our time. The fact that gravity travels at the speed of light means interstellar travel could be hundreds of years away instead of thousands.

    Good thread and comments. Check out Maurice Cotterell who speaks a lot of sense about the (real) structure of the atom (amongst other things) and the reason why the scientific establishment persevere with researching a theory that goes down blind alley. It's the same reason after over 110 years of cancer research we still haven't got a cure. Too many people are making too much money to ever want it to stop.

    This kind of ill-informed rhetoric is actually quite dangerous. Finding a treatment for any one of the 100s of different cancers is akin to playing "Whack-a-Mole". Get on top of one & another pops up.

    Yes, the pharmaceutical industry is there to make a profit (although charities such as CRUK are not) but the aim is always to cure a disease and treat a condition when there is no cure.

    There is no "cure" for many cancers because cancer is an horrendously complicated set of diseases. Practically every single cancer type is vastly different from the next. Even person to person differences make treatments work or fail.

    To say there is no cure due to profit belittles the thousands of scientists who work hard to improve patients lives and could turn patients away from real treatment options because "evil pharma is just out for cash"
