According to the traditional accepted theory, a black hole is a collapsed star. It has collapsed so far that the gravitational field becomes greater than the electromagnetic repulsive forces that exist between individual particles at the center of the star. In essence, not even light would be able to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.While the traditional line of reasoning behind black holes might seem to make sense to a large number of scientists, I do not agree with it. There are many assumptions made, and at least one very questionable mathematical technique used. While I do not agree there are "Black Holes" out there, I do believe in something very close to Black Hole theory. My Ball-of-Light Particle describes something very close to Black Holes -- balls-of-light. Let me emphasize, the differences between the descriptions of a "Black Hole" and a "ball-of-light" may seem either extremely large, or extremely small depending upon your point of view. The lay person may think the differences do not even exist. A theoretical physicist who has studied Black Holes for years may be shocked by the differences.<br /><br />There is no doubt about the bulk of astronomical observations concerning these massive objects -- whatever they are called, or however they are described -- they do exist.<br />When I was about 16 years old, I read a book by Isaac Asimov called, "THE COLLAPSING UNIVERSE, THE STORY OF BLACK HOLES". This was the first time I heard a scientific description of the traditional 4 forces of nature: nuclear, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational. He carefully compared these four forces, describing something about their relative strengths. He went on to describe the traditional view of the atom, and how the electrons and nuclei both attract and repel each other. He talked about density, giving various examples of how dense common materials are. Then he went on to describe gravity, and that while it was the weakest of the 4 forces, its effects were c
