Just another claim of a "massive" black hole, that makes Dr Becky exciting.Video Dr Becky -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aativXKru1M

It is still not visible and still looks like another massive mistake. It is based on theories based on theories based on hypotheses based on assumptions which have not been proven. At first glance it looks like the reflection of a plasma-beam. It is funny how Becky uses a reflection/diffraction of a glass as an example of an Einstein ring. Hint hint.

The enthusiasm comes from the number games that seem to produce some results. It is full of bias and fiction, but because of the complicated maths involved no-one notices. Just like astrology seems correct due to all the interesting calculations.

Becky also thinks that Einstein's gravity is valid, and I would love an explanation why charged objects do not experience induction force in gravity. I think that progress comes from checking the boundaries instead of doing the same thing over and over again.

Then I tried biology and field ecology. More grounded. But too much chemistry for my taste.

I was an astrophysics major briefly as an undergrad. This is in the early 90s. I did not pursue it. Much of it did seem like we might as well have been talking about the tooth fairy. It was all heading in such a beyond theoretical direction - really just human minds making stories about stuff they did not understand.
