Am sure atheists are now peeing their pants seeing the post title . Haha! Enjoy the read !

When a huge star many times the mass of the sun comes to the end of its life it collapses in on itself and forms a singularity - creating a black hole where gravity is so strong that not even light itself can escape.Continue ...
At least, that's what we thought.A scientist has sensationally said that it is impossible for black holes to exist - and she even has mathematical proof to back up her claims.If true, her research could force physicists to scrap their theories of how the universe began.
The research was conducted by Professor Laura Mersini-Houghton from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the College of Arts and Scientists.
Before the black hole can form, she said, the dying star swells and explodes.The singularity as predicted never forms, and neither does the event horizon - the boundary of the black hole where not even light can escape.Professor Mersini-Houghton said :
"I'm still not over the shock .We've been studying this problem for a more than 50 years and this solution gives us a lot to think about."
Experimental evidence may one day provide physical proof as to whether or not black holes exist in the universe. She claims that as a star dies, it releases a type of radiation known as Hawking radiation - predicted by Professor Stephen Hawking.However in this process, Professor Mersini-Houghton believes the star also sheds mass, so much so that it no longer has the density to become a black hole.
But for now, Mersini-Houghton says the mathematics are conclusive. What's more, the research could apparently even call into question the veracity of the Big Bang theory. Most physicists think the universe originated from a singularity that began expanding with the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago.
If it is impossible for singularities to exist, however, as partially predicted by Professor Mersini-Houghton, then that theory would also be brought into question.
One of the reasons black holes are so bizarre is that they pit two fundamental theories of the universe against each other.
Namely, Einstein's theory of gravity predicts the formation of black holes. But a fundamental law of quantum theory states that no information from the universe can ever disappear.
Efforts to combine these two theories proved problematic, and has become known as the black hole information paradox - how can matter permanently disappear in a black hole as predicted?
Professor Mersini-Houghton's new theory does manage to mathematically combine the two fundamental theories, but with unwanted effects for people expecting black holes to exist.
'Physicists have been trying to merge these two theories - Einstein's theory of gravity and quantum mechanics - for decades, but this scenario brings these two theories together, into harmony,' said Professor Mersini-Houghton.
'And that's a big deal.'

TITLE>>>>>>FORBIDDEN
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
.... The Forbidden Fruits After that day, the boys never went to the orange tree again and the story that it was a forbidden fruit was retold and everyone believed it, even the four boys. Though they knew it was not the forbidden fruits of the Bible but Mr. Jacob's forbidden fruits. Garba was angry when he learnt that it was Bawa who had told on him. They all began to avoid Bawa. But all these had been over thirty-five years ago. They grown and become men. Garba had turned out to be the star of them all, having excelled in school and had gone to Lagos and then to England. He returned to Dongongari and settled down. Now all the boys who went to the St. Aquinas now have children. But they all still sit together on weekends and talk of the past. Mr. Jacob and the forbidden fruits was always an exciting topic and they would laugh. "Only God know where the white master is today," Sule would say with nostalgia. "Perhaps long dead and buried," Tanko would say. "But he was a terror," Bawa reminded. He had succeeded. his father as the tobacco merchant in ,Jogongan even though he was once a banker. Garba would laugh. "Come to think of it, he was a good man. The lesson of the forbidden fruits was that of obedience. We ought to have obeyed him as our elder and teacher," he said: They all agreed with him. The End ....
