'This article is a good example of the flummox you can get yourself in, if you really don't know what is going on with the universe, but guess anyway. Scientists are baffled by flares, sometimes of a high frequency oscillation that occur around black holes. The article describes a how photons could be generating these flares by dancing around a black hole like a roulette wheel. However, another scientist has to point out that this is a black hole and light is not supposed to escape from it!
A new physics is called for in this article to explain these mysterious effects. See the primer on Punk Science for an introduction to the ideas that could unwrap the twist in the knickers of astrophysics.'
