have. So is with scientists: what they see is what they discuss, whereas what they do not
see and what does not fit into their world outlook is in principle non-existent for them.
Anastasia: Yet, perhaps, the funniest thing about this modern theory is, in my opinion,
the so-called “initial black holes”. According to assumptions of scientists, such black
holes supposedly appeared right after the Big Bang, approximately about 14 billion
years ago when the expansion of the Universe started. There is an opinion that the black
hole is always ready to absorb any radiation or substance, thus increasing its mass.
Hypothetically, according to the notion of scientists, sizes of black holes may vary from
a super-small black hole (having the mass of just 1,015 grams, which supposedly may
have remained intact somewhere in the open Universe until present) to a supergiant and
supermassive one, which is hypothetically located in the centre of the galaxy.
Even if we assume that after the Big Bang matter continued to fly apart at the maximum
speed possible for a million years, and only afterwards a single super-small black hole
formed with the mass of just 1,015 grams but having an insatiable “keen gastronomic
appetite”, it would mean that there would now exist one gigantic black hole instead of
the Universe.
Rigden: I’m glad you understand this. With such a state of things, the Universe would
have ceased to exist at least five billion years ago.
Anastasia: That’s a perfectly fair comment. Well, in general, black holes are a very
interesting and captivating topic, especially when you read the research papers of people
who seek to know and unravel the mysteries of the Universe and who write for people.
On the other hand, truth be told, there are plenty of papers in which authors evidently
discuss black holes of boredom.
Obviously, they worked on their papers just like in a Russian saying: “Where I sneezed I
put a comma; where I hiccupped I put a colon, and where I snuffed I put a full stop”…
So, being an outside observer of various twists and turns in science, my impression of
black holes is like in a popular joke: “What science knows on this subject is that it does
not know anything”.
