With size of a sun being the factor that determines a neutron star or black hole, why couldn't there be a limit for the amount of neutrons as the only factor determining if a black hole is formed? In other words why is a black hole not just a large enough amount of neutrons? I am sure there...

Assuming the door was mechanically opened fully, a slight pull on the steering wheel to correct its path would be felt, with a slight increase in throttle to maintain speed.

Depends. If cruise control is on, the car will not slow down.

There is no risk at all for that, none. If magically that was possible, a person could not have the strength to hold the door open with that much force.A door open will not cause lift, and doors have different shapes that will have different effects. 80 is not high speed, and not fast...

It will increase drag, it has the possibility to turn the vehicle. It has the possibility to slow the vehicle down But not much in either case. To many unknown variables for an exact answer.

If you search "slow light" you will find out light can be stopped, started and slowed down.

In a lab when light passes through say fiber optics is not the speed reduced by 31% ?

No. You have to have the idea, you have to have the thought of something being a certain way, so that you can develop a credible test to confirm your idea is correct. Even if said test are carried out and you believe you have a correct result. The result is always open to advancement and or...

No. Science observes and reports what it finds in said observations. While it does not prove anything, facts can be observed and verified. Knowledge can be advanced by observing. Proofs exist only in mathematics and logic. The primary criterion and standard of evaluation of scientific...

Do all physics theory's complete our understanding of the nature in the universe? or are we trying to advance the theory's?

Much of the nature of our universe falls in a place without current laws or knowledge, many things we have had certainty on, have been overturned with new discoveries. We are at the infancy of our understanding the nature of space/time and gravity. I think it was Einstein that quoted he was...

While true science does not prove anything, it observes and reports. People can use said information to make plausible assumptions to the point of factual knowledge. Why is the question that drives knowledge to expand.

No advancements would ever be made without the curiosity to explain what no one has as of yet.

This is exactly where the next advancement will be made, in our lifetime a working "hypothetical" TOE will come forward. Can only hope partial test would be able to confirm enough to retain plausibility.

I use that line all the time, but in this case, not sure why many/we even define a black hole as containing a singularity.
