My understanding is that the 2 places were deliberately mis-named from the start, in what may be the world's first real-estate scam.

Yes it was a scam, to get viking settlers to go there seeking a new home.

 

Greenland was a huge scam and many died from the cold.

Even if that were true, most reputable scientists would label it a hypothesis and conduct expierments to prove it is likely, then publish their results in reputable journals that would be peer revieed (crtiqued) before being accepted. They will be very clear about what is a hypothesis, results of expirements/studies, and peer accepted. There are always exceptions, but the scientific coimmunity will normally be very vocal when one goes feral and tries to claim science before it has gone through the process.

 

Of course, those that make unilateral announcements of Sky News and the like  don't generally fall into the reputable scientist category.

Yes , they wouldn't except my ' theory ' ,that it was the moon. That was smashed by a ' killer ' asteroid. 

And a large piece fell onto our world .

Someone will take credit IF they,  take it further .

HEY  . I'M NOT THAT OLD .

I just don't remember that well now.

Before " Gondwanaland " ,

Also they ( nameless ) boffin, have stated , there is evidence of ' alien ' rocks in our Earth. ( could it be ,

that ' Killer ' asteroid) .

Judging by the cratering on the moon which has no atmosphere the earth would have had many asteroids land here at high speed. which often causes them to burn up in the process. . All the substances high up on  the periodic Table come from black holes.  Nev

Nah, couldn't be!

 

If that was true, Gina would have a mine there and by now got a government subsidy to build a rail track to it.

You can't call them black holes any more.

The are Black because light cannot escape it's gravitational pull..   Nev

Which raises an interesting point. Is light particulate ( photon) or is it a waveform?

 

If light cannot escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, then it implies that light is particulate because it is a component of a Force.

 

F=G{\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}}

F=force

G=gravitational constant

m_1=mass of object 1 (black hole)

m_2=mass of object 2 (photon)

r^2=distance between centers of the masses

 

But we also know that light behaves as if it is a waveform.

Not necessarily according to einstein nev. The black hole warps space-time and so light doesn't need any mass to be kept in. No I don't understand it either, but Newton has been proved wrong each time a GPS is used.

Personally, I much prefer Newton stuff as I can understand it a bit.

All my money seems to disappear into black holes every month. The Saudi Petro Dollar black hole must be the largest in the entire Universe.

There's been some dickhead descriptions of how lift happens.

It is interesting that something that produces such a very important result in our modern world is still not fully understood. It seems that aircraft designers are happy with "We don't know why, but we know it works."
