How did you find PF?
Google Search for physics discussion forums.
I've been fascinated by Black Holes for decades. Trying to understand certain aspects at the moment where simple questions should tell me if I have the wrong end of the stick. If, by any remote chance I don't then further questions follow.

Welcome. Be sure to read the rules. Anyway, I’m also fascinated by black holes. I mean who isn’t? :)

Check my recent post about Penrose and Smolin and their theories. They might not hold up but they’re entertaining reads.

Thank you sbrothy - this seems to be a friendly place.

Oh it is, but break the rules and you’re gonna get spanked with a slide rule. I learned that the hard way. My fingers still hurt :)

One thing PF expects is some work on your behalf, so here is a link. Have a look.

It was kind of a… not epiphany, but at least an eye-opener that it seems all galaxies “rotate” around a SMBH.

EDIT: Sorry for my edits. I’m also on the spectrum somewhere. Probably OCPD.
 
Wheeler? That may be beyond me but then again I wasn’t the recipient.

Bookmarked for sure though.

Same Wheeler, but you are probably thinking about the graduate text Gravitation by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler.
