The two orbiting black holes of LIGO's ...Roger,<br />The two orbiting black holes of LIGO's claim are pretty much bullshit. Think of what the angular velocity of two orbiting block holes would have to be? Is anyone going to seriously say they could orbit each other fast enough to not just collide? Even if they were orbiting each other at the speed of light, which is clearly ridiculous, how would they avoid collision? Considering how massive a black hole would have to be at minimum, and how many times the mass of our sun LIGO claims these black holes to be, are they actually proposing that such masses could move at such angular speeds necessary to maintain their mutual orbit? I was given the impression that even light speed is not a suitable escape velocity for the theoretical black hole, which I don't even believe exists due to their dependence upon the hypostatization of a physical point, which is a pure abstraction. You can no more assign mass to a point than you can a line, or an angle. Sizeless objects can not carry mass or density except in fiction, this was in fact the entire reason String Theory was invented, because a point does not have the degrees of freedom they were trying to assign to it.
