“If mathematics disappeared today…physics would be set back a week.” [Richard Feynman said] To this utterance, Michael Atiyah offered what may have been the perfect rejoinder: “That was the week that God created the world.”
Lmaoo savage

“The theory of black holes was developed before there was an indication from observations that they actually existed. I do not know of any other example in science where such a great extrapolation was successfully made solely on the basis of thought” -Steven Hawking

“Einstein believed than an object with such bizarre properties—enveloped by a weird event horizon and harboring an even more unfathomable singularity at its core—was a mathematical artifact that could not actually exist in the universe. It might have just been a byproduct of the perfect spherical symmetry assumed in Schwarzschild’s derivation…”

Yeah nature is wacky like that…black holes are wild.
