It takes energy for the black hole to form? Yes black holes are those scary science things and people do over react when they hear of it. Just look at the progression of horror. First electricity gave way for Dr. Frankenstein to create his monster. Then the atomic bombs made Godzilla. Currently genetic engineering and biological weapons makes way for Resident Evil. People are just afraid of what they do not understand.
@ Martian:
OK. So scientists haven't proven without a doubt that it is a black hole? So what do they call objects that cannot be seen and have stars whizzing around them?
