Black Holes and Dark Energy

I am kind of busy today cos I have been assigned a new portion of my research project to do. So I will just keep this very short and (possibly) expand on it later.

Anyway today's article is about black holes, which have been one of the more popular Sci-Fi objects. Apparently, they should not, and cannot, exist. However, there is evidence that they do exist, but not in the same way as they were originally defined - a giant hole that sucks everything into it. Instead, some scientists are proposing that such "Black holes" are actually massive dark-energy (or dark matter) stars.

Well, you'll have to read more to find out for now.

Black holes are staples of science fiction and many think astronomers have observed them indirectly. But according to a physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, these awesome breaches in space-time do not and indeed cannot exist.

Over the past few years, observations of the motions of galaxies have shown that some 70% the Universe seems to be composed of a strange 'dark energy' that is driving the Universe's accelerating expansion.
