Shortly before Hawking died, he said black holes probably don’t exist. However, science fiction most definitely does exist.

Don't know about " hairy black holes" in space BUT trust me when I say that as a Mid-wife, and NO offense meant here ladies, I have seen more than my fair share of them in Delivery rooms....LOL.

It is a certainty that both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are incomplete. The predictions are always very, very good, but also off by some ridiculously tiny fraction (or a much bigger fraction).

I wonder whether the accretion disk becomes blue as it nears the event horizon? The idea being that more energetic blue frequencies can escape the gravity better than the red frequencies??

Interesting article. Isn't it amazing that it took so long to come to the "yes hair" proof.

All of this is much too deep for my brain.

Black hairy holes are awesomeness!!!!
