I don't think you understand science, Seefacts. Saying "oh well it's just a 'theory' so therefore NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING so ANYONE CAN SAY ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING WRONG so NERR" is, well, childish crap.
The whole of science is just theories - theories that nobody has ever managed to disprove despite a whole heap of rigorous attempts at disproof. Which far from making them wild speculation, makes them mankind's best understanding at the current day.
The fact remains that, for example, all the electronic components in your laptop - which are based on "electromagnetic field THEORY","particle THEORY" and so on - still somehow manage to work. Unless they are made by Dell.
Anyway, as Patrick Moore says, some people's ignorance of science is so complete that it is useless to argue with them.
And yes, people have seen black holes. Using radio telescopes.
As you can probably guess - I'm no scientist. I'm actually not all that interested in science really. I just know I don't want get blown up anytime soon!
I'm not going to bother arguing about science for god's sake, especially not with you Griff or Mr. P!
I would seriously doubt ANYONE other than scientists should even bother discussing this because it's so complex.
I know my thoughts on the matter, and you know yours. So knock it on the head will you?

Y'know, Seefacts is a jolly nice chap Griff. You may actually like him!
This is correct, yes.
I think they should do tests on Griff to find out why he's such a cantankerous arse.
