Black holes ain't that black then?
That black holes are a pain in the neck for astrophysicists is more or less well known. Infinites and zeroes are fine for mathematics but not to be found in Nature, yet a black hole in principle hides an infinite at its center, or that was accepted until now.

Space research may appear as a somewhat chaotic dispersion of disparate efforts, space probes, ground telescopes, space telescopes etc. Yet this is not completely true. Scientists manage to arrive to certain consensus, while politics has, the last say. First of a two part article, within a series of related installments.
