black holes may be evolving

The Douglas Adams’ “Infinite Improbability generator” type of argument was called upon to produce this ‘vacuum energy.’ The language defining vacuum energy is revealing: “Vacuum energy is an underlying background energy that exists in space even when the space is devoid of matter (free space). The concept of vacuum energy has been deduced from the concept of virtual particles, which is itself derived from the energy-time uncertainty principle.” You may notice the absurdity of the concept, given that the vacuum contains no matter, ‘background’ or otherwise, yet it is supposed to contain energy. Adams was parodying Heisenberg’s ‘uncertainty principle’ of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is merely a probabilistic description of what happens at the scale of subatomic particles without any real physical understanding of cause and effect. Heisenberg was uncertain because he didn’t know what he was talking about. However, he was truthful when he wrote, “we still lack some essential feature in our image of the structure of matter.” The concept of ‘virtual particles’ winking in and out of existence defies the aforementioned first principle of physics, “Thou shalt not magically materialize nor dematerialize matter.” Calling that matter ‘virtual’ merely underscores its non-reality.

Impressive display of ignorance, DB and CS.
CS can't grasp the theory of evolution and DB can't grasp what vacuum means.

Yes, you could argue that, but you'd be wrong. You must read nothing but Catholic apologists, you view everything through the lens of Catholic dogma. There are other lenses, you should try one. Man IS just another species in most ways, though in some ways certainly a unique one so far in the history of life on earth. You can't, however, lay secular humanism at Darwin's door. You can find some of its ideas among the pre-Socratic Greeks, but the contemporary version of it has its roots in the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, two events the RCC has never really come to terms with, prior to 1800, several generations before Darwin's seminal works were published.
No, i've read other philosophers. Most of the ancient Pre-Socratics (who first imposed a rational process on mystical speculation) and Socratic (in its method of dialectical inquiry) have been incorporated in some way into Catholic Theology ( through the lens, the reality and revelation of Christ, of course).. most notably in the great syntheses of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas and the numerous streams that flowed into and from them. This formed a cohesive philosophical lineage from which Western Civilization developed.
And i can certainly lay Social Darwinism on Darwin's door.. mix that with your assertion the Man IS just another species.. and you have the recipe for modern culture.. which is DEFINED by secular humanism. Like it or not Darwin is a father of the New Age.. and it has little to do with the Western tradition.. with which it is in full revolt. It is in fact, pre pre-socratic.. harkening back to the irrationalism that governed ancient thought.. with those of occasional Dark Ages.. where superstition and magic ruled.

Ah the dark ages, along with most of the last five thousand years was ruled by gold and silver merchants, , slave traders and arms manufacturers. Superstition and magic are as useful today as they have always been. We are as easily fooled with practiced applications of packaging and hype as we were then, perhaps even more so since we have been educated to believe nothing of the sort can befall such advanced civilizations.
Well who's state of sin is greater mine or yours. I cannot grasp the aforementioned impossibility and you can. You should not doubt your own impressiveness.
I don't swallow the concept of "sin". I don't doubt that there is matter in the "vacuum" of space. It seems to be between 1 and 3 atoms per cubic meter, in fact. IOW, there's dust and gases all over the place out there.
Dark Ages? Isn't the period from about the 5th to the 15th centuries in Europe often called that? And who was running most things at the time? Wasn't it the Roman Catholic Church? Who was it who censored and suppressed Galileo and subjected him to permanent house arrest, despite his being right? Wasn't that the Roman Catholic Church? Who burned Bruno at the stake? And the Maid of Orleans? Who organized and ran the Inquisition, and the Crusades? Wasn't the Roman Catholic Church a major player in those? Seems pretty clear to me that the Roman Catholic Church has been a major contributor to Dark Ages. And how about the claims that god came to earth in human form, performed miracles, cast out demons, healed the sick with a touch, walked on water, calmed the storm with a gesture, became the scapegoat for all human wrongs...? That sure sounds like magic and superstition.

A Dissident View of Relativity Theory
William H. Cantrell, Ph.D.
IE Editorial, Issue 59
Welcome dear colleagues to another special issue of IE Magazine. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s famous paper1 on special relativity; consequently, we dedicate this issue to an inspection of his work. There is a cornucopia of written material celebrating Einstein’s genius, his achievements, his thoughts, and his politics. There is also a wealth of controversial material to draw upon, so much in fact that this is the third issue on this theme (after IE #38 and 39). Although the majority of the literature makes the case for Einstein’s theory of relativity, you—the astute reader—will soon discover that this is not one of them.
Modified Lorentz Ether Gauge Theory
The mainstream authorities are fond of saying that GPS would not work if it weren’t for Einstein’s relativity. Clifford Will of Washington University has been quoted31 as saying:

Modified Lorentz Ether Gauge Theory
The mainstream authorities are fond of saying that GPS would not work if it weren’t for Einstein’s relativity. Clifford Will of Washington University has been quoted31 as saying:
SR has been confirmed by experiment so many times that it borders on crackpot to say there is something wrong with it. Experiments have been done to test SR explicitly. The world’s particle accelerators would not work if SR wasn’t in effect. The global positioning system would not work if special relativity didn’t work the way we thought it did.
Oh really? What does one of the world’s foremost experts on GPS have to say about relativity theory and the Global Positioning System? Ronald R. Hatch is the Director of Navigation Systems at NavCom Technology and a former president of the Institute of Navigation. As he describes in his article for this issue (p. 25, IE #59), GPS simply contradicts Einstein’s theory of relativity. His Modified Lorentz Ether Gauge Theory (MLET) has been proposed32 as an alternative to Einstein’s relativity. It agrees at first order with relativity but corrects for certain astronomical anomalies not explained by relativity theory. (Also see IE #39, p. 14.)

Nope. In fact all of the classical solutions of Newtonian Mechanics are a proper subset of the Quantum results: it doesn't undo anything it expands upon them. They are fully retrievable from the quantum state vector. The continuity of space and time is the realm of quantum gravity which is as yet a completely open field of research.
Yes, and what Lorentz and Poincare did was to take Maxwell's equations and determine their symmetries. If all matter is electrical in nature than those are the symmetries of nature. What came of their research was special relativity, and they discovered it 6 full years before Einstein.
Project those symmetries onto gravity (assert that the symmetries of electrical matter are the fundamental symmetries of nature) and the simplest possible theory is General Relativity.
No mathematical speculation is needed. Unless the statement, "When I raise my right hand, my reflection raises its left hand," is mathematical speculation. I doubt you think of the properties of a mirror are speculation, but anybody who would make such a claim has no business talking about electromagnetism, quantum mechanics or gravity.
Nope. Not at all. You don't know the difference between the RCC and the Holy Roman Empire which was never run from Rome?
No wonder you're so flippin' jaded.
Darwins job was to separate man from god in the mind of the masses. A proper god concept is absolutely necessary for normal human development.
I think i covered that before.. in separating the wheat from the chaff.. the Church of Christ from the institution of the Roman Catholic Church.. the former is divine and reliable.. the latter is human and thus.. very flawed.. and at time erronious.
Reliable? lol Who are the authors of religious doctrine, dogma, and rhetoric but the same humans you admit to being flawed and erroneous.
Keep arguing in circles, please. It's pretty comical.
BTW, the HRE was just the political counterpart to the RCC, probably developed to keep the Church from being directly linked to wars and whatnot.
Communication between the two them must be pretty poor. How long did it take to get the message about slavery after centuries of supporting the institution? Still hasn't got the message about the equality of women and the reality of homosexuality.
That's just the standard excuse that's always trotted out when the church is confronted with its past bad behaviour. It was people alright, people claiming to lead, speak and act on divine authority through direct apostolic succession from Jesus himself, and if that's not the real church then there isn't one. You try to get the church off the hook for its malfeasance by claiming it wasn't the church; I call it weaselling and I call BS on it.

Retired Professor of Electrical Engineering Donald Scott, author of The Electric Sky, wrote about the way plasma acts in the Universe: “Plasma phenomena are scalable. Their electrical and physical properties remain the same, independent of the size of the plasma. In a laboratory plasma, of course, things happen much more quickly than on, say, galaxy scales, but the phenomena are identical—they obey the same laws of physics. In other words we can make accurate models of cosmic scale plasma behavior in the lab, and generate effects that mimic those observed in space. It has been demonstrated that plasma phenomena can be scaled to fourteen orders of magnitude. (Alfvén hypothesized that they can be scaled to 28 orders or more!) Electric currents flowing in plasmas produce most of the observed astronomical phenomena that remain inexplicable if we assume gravity and magnetism to be the only forces at work.”
Irrespective of their source, X-rays in space are not created by gravitational fields regardless of how strong they are theorized to be. Since plasma is composed of charged particles, the particles are accelerated by electric currents and spiral in the resulting magnetic fields, creating synchrotron radiation that can shine in all high energy frequencies, including extreme ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
