This Indian physicist disproved blackholes 13 years before HawkingIANS | IANS | Bangalore, February 5, 2014 | UPDATED 14:50 IST
A new paper released late last month in which famed British physicist Stephen
Hawking contradicts his own theory and says that Black Holes - in the real sense
- do not actually exist has startled the world science community.
But Abhas Mitra, a theoretical physicist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre
(BARC) in Mumbai, is not at all surprised. "I said more than a decade ago that
the Black Hole solutions found in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity actually
correspond to zero mass and are never formed. This implies that the so-called
Black Hole candidates must be Grey Holes or quasi-Black Holes," Mitra said,

Mitra's papers, published in peer reviewed journals since 2000 - that still remain
unchallenged - maintain that there can be objects in the universe that are quasi-
static or "eternally collapsing" but not exactly Black Holes. "This work was
largely ignored by mainstream physicists as well as the media while Hawking's
recent two-page online paper saying exactly the same thing has become hot
international news," Mitra has expressed.
He said this happened even though several American astrophysicists verified his
prediction that such quasi-Black Holes must have strong magnetic fields unlike
the real Black Holes, adding that even Harvard University issued a press release
to this effect in 2006.
A Black Hole, according to its proponents, results from gravitational collapse of a
massive star after it runs out of fuel for nuclear fusion. A Black Hole is all
vacuum except for an infinitely dense central point called "singularity," Mitra
said.
As the theory goes, a Black Hole is surrounded by an imaginary boundary called
"Event Horizon" that shuts everything within, allowing nothing - not even light -
to escape. An object crossing the Event Horizon gets forever trapped and crushed
at the singularity, destroying all the information about the object as well. This
directly conflicts with the laws of quantum physics that say information can
never be completely wiped out. This is the Black Hole "information loss
paradox". (Read More: Stephen Hawking debunks Albert Einstein's
black hole theory )
The Black Holes also pose a "Firewall Paradox" which arises from the claim that
Event Horizon, under the quantum theory, must actually be transformed into a
highly energetic region, or firewall, that would burn any approaching object to a
crisp. Although the firewall obeyed quantum rules, it flouted Einstein's General

Hawking's latest paper attempts to resolve the Firewall Paradox by proposing
that gravitational collapse produces only an Apparent Horizon but not an Event
Horizon that is the hallmark of a true Black Hole. He said the absence of Event
Horizons means there are no Black Holes in the sense they are usually
visualized.
Mitra said he has shown before that there can be no Event Horizon by using the
classical theory without invoking uncertain quantum physics as Hawking has
done.
In fact, in a series of peer reviewed papers, Mitra has shown that no true Black
Holes can ever form. The so-called Black Holes observed by astronomers are
actually radiation pressure supported Eternally Collapsing Objects (ECOs). These
balls of fire are so hot that even neutrons and protons melt there and whose
outward radiation pressure balances the inward pull of gravity to arrest a
catastrophic collapse before any Black Hole or 'singularity' would actually form.
"Incidentally, our Sun is also a ball of fire hot enough to melt atoms," Mitra
noted.
"Thus, the realization that there can be no true Black Holes and the so-called
Black Holes are actually ECOs resolve both the Information and Firewall
paradoxes," Mitra said.
"Hawking has now arrived at the same conclusion from tentative arguments
while our results are based on exact calculations and were published in a series
of peer-reviewed papers over 13 years ago," Mitra added.

In regard to the idiotic comment posted by '@Jitu' (who's most likely an
American/European agent or bootlicker like dirtyRaji), relevant papers are available on
academia.edu website at what appears to be Abhas Mitra's page. Also, the following is a
link to a AUGUST 2001 article entitled "No black holes according to general relativity?"
that discusses Mitra's findings, and also reveals that Mitra apparently INVITED STEPHEN
HAWKING TO CRITIQUE HIM, BUT RECEIVED NO REPLY! (link to article at

Why should we, Indians, blame West for not taking attention of Indian Scientists' research?
Are we taking a serious look at our Indian Science? See the recent Bharat Ratna Award.
CNR Rao and Sachin Tendulkar received the awards. Who got the maximum publicity?
Sachin. When compared with CNR, Sachin is nothing. CNR is entering 80s, still his brain
shows no weakness. Sachin's last 2-4 years were really boring. I used to wonder what he
was doing in the middle. Unfortunately, in India, we give more credits to entertainers, such
as film stars and cricket players (not other sports personalities). Media, including this
magazine give importance to those entertainers. I got some time to interact with the kids of
US, Israel and India. One particular question was asked to kids in middle school. "Who do

Priyanka, etc.. " No kids in India know what is meant to be a scientist. Of course, some kids
did say "doctors, engineers." That is the mind set of us. We have universities in the name of
religions, in the name of politicians. Just 4 institutes in the name of scientists - Raman
Institute, Saha Institute, Bose Insitute and SNBose Centre for Basic Research. NO, NOT
ONE university named after any scientists. Just check number of universities in India
named after members of a particular family. The irony is that none of these family
members have Masters degree.

When a white man publishes anything, it grabs attention; but when a brown or black or
yellow man does the same thing; it is ignored. I think if Hawking was physically normal
person and did not speak through his eyes through computer simulation, 99% of whatever
he supposedly says would be treated as trash by the world anyway. He is greatly overrated
by the world just because of his unique physical sickness.

West cries foul when Chinese steal their know how, but they have been doing this to others
for centuries. Mitra should slap law suits for plagiarism against Stephen Hawkings and his
publishers. That will make the world take notice of Mitra and perhaps acknowledgement
will come. Keeping quiet and whinging is of no use. Have to beat the westerners in their
own game.
