This site addresses various aspects of science, with a current focus on particle physics. I aim to serve the public, including those with no background knowledge of physics. If you're not yourself an expert, you might want to click on "New? Start Here" or "About" to get started. If you'd like to watch my hour-long public lecture about the Higgs particle, try ``Movie Clips''.-

Can you comment on the new plank star proposal?
No, I don’t know enough about it. It doesn’t sound very plausible but I haven’t thought about what might be wrong with it.
Thank you for your time Professor Strassler.
Professor Strassler,
In the future is it possible to address stimulated emission proposed by Prof. Chris Adami, from Michigan State University, having to do with the Information paradox.
Thank you for everything you do.

Professor Strassler,
In the recent research I’ve done, I’ve found that the cingularity is part of the black hole it’s only at the end of it where every thing stops.
Thank you for everything.

If all the mass of the black hole is concentrated in a singularity at the centre then it would be possible for a photon to have an orbit with the singularity at the focus and crossing the event horizon. By conservation of energy it would gain enough energy when falling in to escape the event horizon on the way out, which is not possible. Therefore this proves that there is no singularity at the centre.
