To be more nit-picky, dog shit is a bit different to the evidence we're talking about here. We know for sure where dog shit comes from, what its cause is. X-ray evidence that you're talking about? Can't be as sure. We haven't actually seen the dog yet.

BTW, when I typed eventually, I really meant it. the process takes a VERY long time. But everything in a black hole someday dribbles out. Do you mind explaining Hawking radiation a bit further? I'm a high school student, and I'm independently studying physics, so I'm really interested; I'm especially interested in the cosmos. .
before you go any furtherer I have some recommendations for you. First get a copy of cosmos, carl sagan is an amazing writer, second, get a brief history of time by stephen hawkingg, and finally try out physocs forums, great forum.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I have both books and have self banned myself from Physics Forums due to one of the strangest experiences I have ever had with a mod anywhere.

Sure, that's why I was careful to say "X-ray source" instead of "black hole". :p. The point is, that contrary to Heywood's initial assertion, is that physical evidence is not synonymous with direct observation.

For the uneducated on what they are, they are, in a nutshell, what comes out on the other side of black holes. The idea states that the matter that enters into a black hole disperses onto the other side (a new universe.) I was just curious if this has any validity? By that I mean, is it possible to show evidence of, mathematically or physically?
Black holes poop?
That's kinda cool.
