Maybe you'd like to post your question to sci.physics, I'm sure you'd fit
in nicely there. You can chat to AB about PM machines as well. Or suggest
how Ukraine can rid itself of Nazis (Note that this is an Ambivalent
phrase).

Alfred Bester wrote a dialog with a kind of chatbot
about the question of the existence of stars in 1951:

|"What's happened to the stars?" Reich asked. "When did it
|happen? It must have been noticed by now. What's the
|explanation?"
| |There was a click, a pause, then another click. "Will you
|spell the word, please."
| |"Star!" Reich roared. "S-T-A-R. Star!"
| |Click, pause, click. "Noun or verb?"
| |"God damn you! Noun!"
| |Click, pause, click. "There is no information listed under
|that heading," the canned voice announced.
| "The demolished man" (1951) - Alfred Bester (1913/1987)

. A today's chatbot when given the prompt

|What's happened to the stars? When did it happen? It must
|have been noticed by now. What's the explanation?
What I wrote to the chatbot

immediatly understands that it is about the disappearance
of the stars and then explains possible reasons.

|The disappearance of the stars from the sky would be a
|catastrophic event with far-reaching consequences for life on
|Earth.
....
|Another possibility is that there has been some kind of
|cosmic event that has altered the structure of space-time
|itself, causing the stars to disappear from view.
....
Excerpts from the answer written by a today's chatbot.

If you got No black holes, then you prolly got no Arindam Banerjees either.

Sounds like a fair trade to me.

Naturally, those with their heads in their black holes cannot see me. No trade though, just things as they are.
