Letter: No hole

Published 5 March 2014

From Mats Bergenhov

Despite articles by Lisa Grossman (8 February, p 8) and Marcus Chown (p 41) and all other stories about black holes – there are no holes in the universe. There are irregularities, pits, whirls and so on, but no holes. So I suggest the black hole needs renaming. A black pit, maybe?
