#147 Study hints at the existence of the closest black holes to Earth in the Hyades star cluster

Subtitle: Black holes are one of the most mysterious and fascinating phenomena in the Universe.

“Our simulations can only simultaneously match the mass and size of the Hyades if some black holes are present at the centre of the cluster today (or until recently)”, says the first author of the paper. Likewise, simulations can only match the rotation curve of a galaxy if a halo of dark matter is present around it.

Is there a pattern?

The halo might consist ofcluster of large mass dust and gas as an alternative

Same pattern as for the Big Bang model; people incorrectly believe that if a simulations match observations, the hypotheses used in the simulations must be true.

The main problem is there should be a connection between simulation and experiment. first comes the simulation and then the simulation is tested in an experiment, that is the right procedure,but many researchers don’t test there simulations
