Quite an interesting story, and I wonder how the electric universe model will be effected by this discovery? I've been fascinated by the idea of
black holes for quite sometime, including the subsequent theories to support
or reject them. I was of the impression that there was very strong evidence to support black holes; im sure PBS Nova or such produced an episode on
the discovery of many black holes.
The story went, during the cold war (i think), the US military believed the USSR were or were going to test nuclear bombs on the far side of the moon.
The US sent up a satellite (Vela?) that could detect gamma ray bursts, a signature of a nuclear explosion. What they discovered was GRB's scattered
seemingly randomly, with strengths of each 'burst' braking Einsteins
E = mc2 (if the burst came from a spherical object). They later went on to conclude that the bursts came from black holes, im sure of that.
Anyway, thought i'd share the news, wish they gave more than an artist impression of it all though : c
