And on the black holes, if light isnt matter, how can it be pulled by gravity?
I believe there is now a theoretical possibilty that Photons have an extremely small amount of mass, and are thus suseptible to large gravitational fields, I could be wrong in this. But, I guess we could just kill all funding to find out and instead focus on NEO's as you suggest.
