Thanks for all that Bojan.

Without rattling on I suspect that instead of a single object of massive gravity we will find still massive objects but in binary systems and it is the binary system that produces the extreme gravity..and the massive jets for that matter. (and this science is far to complex to be explained with maths by the way) but that was to answer your question and I except your frustration and should not have let it in the door.

Having said that and being entirely sensible for a moment I follow and respect all conventional work and read every news release that turns up in the science sites I follow. Anything black or dark I have read about it.

My objection with black holes is in the name because I got sick a long time ago explaining to folk it was not like a drain hole in the sink... and the disappointment that a realistic relevation dealt them.

Not as appealing if you say think of a ball or think of it like a star..but very dense..denser than me my friend..they then get it... In fact I object to the disposal of many matters to the black basket..black or dark.

I would prefer a "Densersiod" or "Superdensersoild" or simply Massive stellar object...but black hole...so unfortunate a throw away line used in ridicule has stuck... as did "big bang" .... I think they need a name that gives respect to the profession of astronomy and does not encourage stupid movies.
