Oh lol, for fuck's sake, read a book about it, or go to school.
I asked you to disprove it. Disprove it, and back it up with fact please.
And I still say: stop being so fucking stupid and read one of
these.
And when you're done reading, rethink what you said before, and especially this hilarious "Oh really? Disprove the movie!" attitude. You're only doing this to annoy others, and you don't even realize how stupid you appear when you do it.
If you've read "one of
these" yourself, then you should be able to summarize, in easily-understandable terms, the reasons why a stellar black hole couldn't possibly produce the effect depicted in the movie which, when you get right down to it, is really all he's been asking; "read a book about it, or go to school" is a lazy argument, at best, and dismissive besides. Several ideas have been offered, both
in this thread and in others,
which might go some way to explaining what was shown in the movie--attempts are at least being made--yet what I'm seeing from you and
Ryan8bit here are flat, unsupported repetitions of the "black holes don't work that way" mantra, which really is no less annoying than
Devon's repeated invitations to
prove that they don't. If you're going to assert that black holes do or do not do such-and-so, or that the writers don't know what they're talking about, then back it up -- provide the reasons behind the assertion.
I-Am-Zim at least made a gesture of
posting a link to an encyclopedia entry on black holes, even though I don't think its scope is broad enough to address the question under discussion here.
Now, maybe
Devon is playing obtuse as a means to making a point, but that in no way excuses your "stop being so fucking stupid" slap, which was injudicious, to say the least, and not the sort of thing I want to see any more of.
Devon, you can dial it back a couple of notches, too. If you guys are going to argue a point, then argue the point, support your arguments, and stop taking pokes at each other.

Damn it.

And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids and your unexplained talking dog!!!
Funny, how can you possible take that quote personal?! Sometimes you really long for conflict, don't you?
I don't know about you, but I read that quote of a recurring trope from
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (
see #6) as a joke, and little else.
