LOL at this thread, as if you guys know anything about the subject besides what you looked up on google to reply and try to make yourself look smart...... [/ QUOTE ] some of these guys really know their stuff. chez |

The two posters who posted immediately above you and are a professor of astro-physics at a major university and a professional mathematician obviously had to google that [censored]. I mean I don't remember the [censored] I crammed for in college, so they must not either. |

All,
Click on Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's name and then on his blog in his profile. It's pretty funny. |

Re: Could a Binary Star system create a black hole w/o a singularity?
It seems unlikely that an intact binary system could have an event horizon since an event horizon implies that there is a point of infinite density.

[ QUOTE ] No. Black holes are theoretically formed based on mass density, not net mass. Star A + Star B = some arbitrary mass, but unless the mass is at a high enough density in space it does not create an event horizon. A rotating black hole does however have an ellipsoid shaped event horizon. [/ QUOTE ] Does that necessarily imply 2 singularities? And is that the only way that we can tell that they're rotating? [/ QUOTE ] No, rather it has to do with frame-dragging, a relativistic effect. |

The poster in question was John Carmack. |
