Conventional Scientists believe that black holes burp on their food! In this episode of Punk Science TV, we explore this concept.

A Ridiculous idea

Scientists tend to think of people like myself as spouting a load of New Age spiritual nonsense. In some cases such as when the word ‘ quantum’ is bandied about amongst healers with no real mind to its actual context in physics, these accusations may have a case.

However, there are times, when mainstream scientists are the ones who come across as ridiculous. So in this example, we are discussing the concept of burping black holes.

The wrong monster

As you may know, the prevailing concept amongst mainstream scientists is that black holes are these great devouring monsters that tear apart stars and anything else that comes too close.

However, once the actual evidence began appearing, it became clear that black holes are visible because they are so bright and that also give off a lot of energy and material.

Burp after the feast

Unable to give up their long-cherished notions that black holes are destructive monsters, these jets that are being emitted from black holes are then turned into ‘burps’.

The idea is that the black hole has feasted and then burps on its food.

This is lazy science.

The Projection game

Rather than realise that their concepts and theories do not match the evidence, they invent ‘burping’ black holes. Human characteristics are being projected onto objects in space as a way of coping with behaviour we don’t understand.

We understand that humans sometimes burp after eating a big meal so we have projected that onto black holes in order to avoid the thorny issue that, according to their own theories, nothing should escape a black hole.

Jets are predicted by The Black Hole Principle

Intermittent jets streaming from black holes are exactly what we would expect in The Black Hole Principle which says that black holes are creative.

We do not need to project any nonsensical ideas onto black holes if we understand that they are just a natural part of the universe unfolding.
