NASA Announces Televised Conference - "Exceptional object in our cosmic neighborhood"

No it would not since light is linked to electro-magnetism which is 10^39 stronger force than gravity. Furthermore, 'black holes' are nonsensical - you cannot have an infinitely small, infinitely dense mass-point. Its contradictory. Thing is, if Black Holes are ever admitted to being falsified, there goes The Big Bang. Way too much vested money in propping up that model (just like the Ptolemaic Epicycles being propped up by the Catholic Church which had a vested money interest).

it doesn't have to be an infinite mass, but it would be an error to say stars cannot gain enormous mass. that mass changes the characteristics of the sphere.
the same as the difference between the earth and jupiter, and then the comparison of jupiter to the sun.

it doesn't have to be an infinite mass

The definition bandied about for a black hole is that it is an infinitely small, infinitely dense mass point (the singularity). Its nonsensical in more than one way.

- It cannot be observed. That right there violates The Scientific Method. Might as well say that Pink Unicorns are in space since they are just as unobservable as black holes.
- You cannot divide by Zero. Basic mathematics.

Black holes are nonsense. Period.
