Theoreticly yes! Although we've detected them so know they do exist, we've never directly observed one even by ecretion disc (the light generated around the edge as matter is pulled in and superheated)-past the point of that no light is able to escape it. |

If you can't observe it how do you know matter is being pulled in and superheated? |

It's the same as when a tree falls in the forest - does it make a sound when it hits the floor??? Lol  |

The laws of physics. I should've said *i dont think we've directly observed one*. For an indepth explanation you'd be best asking stephen hawking  lol |

Thanks for the explanation.  I done a name search on fab for Stephen Hawking but couldn't find him so I guess all my questions will go unanswered.  |

The answer is no. It's your ear and brain that translate the vibration into sound so if there is nothing there to hear it then it doesn't make a sound. |

I didn't know that. I thought it was one of those questions that can't be answered like what came first the chicken or the egg. X |

"There's also an answer to the chicken and egg question but I forget it (involves evolution obviously) and I'm too lazy to cheat and google it "
Is there really. I'm learning a lot on here today. Thanks x |

Egg.... "
Wrong.
British researchers say the chicken must have come first as the formation of eggs is only possible thanks to a protein found in the chicken’s ovaries.
What I still don't get is how can chickens be made without the egg??  |

I knew i could rely on StuM to chime in with good info, you coulda got here a bit sooner though stu lol. Your link confirms one, maybe two things for me i was worried about-it's eccretion and not ecretion lol...the other that detection has been by x-ray rather than visible light (which is what i meant by directly observing). I'm no physicist, very much the layman with comparitivly limited knowledge, but know the OPs answer's yes lol. |

You can't see gravity, but all the evidence shows that it is functioning to keep us stuck to the planet & the planet in orbit etc...
Same with black holes, we haven't seen them but the way light moves through the galaxy indicates that they exist & light cannot escape. Because of the immense density of mass, it would follow that they have a very large gravitational pull. At what distance mass is pulled in I don't know. |
