"The concept that explains black holes was so radical, in fact, that Einstein, himself, had strong misgivings. He concluded in a 1939 paper in the Annals of Mathematics that the idea was âoenot convincingâ and the phenomena did not exist âoein the real world.â"

Are you saying we're smarter than Einstein, and future evidence won't move us in favor of concepts such as infinite density that are simply emotionally too costly for the consensus to accept at the moment?

If we went back in time to the 1980s would you be saying even a non-singular black hole is just too far outside the Overton Window for most physicists? How do you know the limits you set now, which have moved so far, won't move towards zero size and infinite densities in another few decades?

Were there actual critical shortages during Covid due to lack of willing workers or was it lockdowns that caused temporary supply blips?

Personally, can I say I liked lockdowns because the highways were empty and I don't buy toilet paper so I never experienced shortages?

In short, how fickle and arbitrary are your Covid claims?
