User talk:73.118.175.67

May 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages (including user talk pages) such as Talk:Black hole are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:07, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Black holes fake. It's easy to prove. The enthusiasts keep picking out blurry photo or using artist rendering when the the Hubble and James Web telescope is available.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -Alabama- (talk) 21:32, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk pages aren't a good place for general discussion of a topic, but briefly: black holes are black; they are not easy to image which is why there aren't a bunch of pictures of them from Hubble. The nearest stellar mass black holes we know about are still thousands of light years away, and for astronomical objects BH's are dark and TINY. So, no direct images. What we have is a radio image of a super massive black hole that is MILLIONS of light years away. It's bright because it is actively absorbing matter, which glows before it enters the event horizon. Incidentally, e=mc^2 is well understood. In SI units of kg, m, and s, the e is in Joules and the units are consistent, but it works with any other consistent set of units. 1 Joule = 1 kg*(m/s)^2, and a kg of matter has an energy of about 9x10^16 J.

A summary of some policies and guidelines you clearly missed

• Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary.
• "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.

And most importantly:

• We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.

In fact, this last point is so important here that administrators have discretionary sanctions in that area:

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in pseudoscience and fringe science. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
