It just doesn&apos;t fit with quantum theory, which is why we have stringiness and the other bizarre theories. Try this discussion of black holes by Matt Strassler on for size: >  > http://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/relativity-space-astronomy-and-cosmology/black-holes/black-hole-information-paradox-an-introduction/-That was the article I was referring to. The problem is that the predictions of GR that predict black holes are based on the model of gravity being accurate. Like a house of cards, if you pull the cards from the bottom, the whole thing tumbles. Would GR predict black holes if redefined our understanding of Gravity? If you take away the inverse relationship between mass and gravity, then the problem of a black hole never occurs because the super dense matter is not required to generate a corresponding super-strong gravitational field. -String theory, and others, are also building upon the same wobbly foundation. Why are we wasting time and money on wild speculation before we shore up the foundation upon which all of that speculation is built upon.
