Scientists can infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their effect on other matter.
And if you had a black hole in your pocket I could tell.
Actually, I am aware that they claim to have used a spectrograph, to detect water. However, even a spectrograph uses light, and again, this supposed water was not in our galaxy, or in some other galaxy near our galaxy. The image was taken from a galaxy at the edge of the known universe, and thus the image was from near the beginning of time. An analogy that comes to mind, is that there is a sole car on a mountain oh say 10 miles in the distance at night, the headlights are on, and you can just barely see the light. Then you run your spectrograph, on the light, and can tell that there are 2 people in the car, and that they are eating a Whopper. The entire concept is silly, and it is not science, but as I said, some genius sent junior there to discover water, at the edge of time, that no one will ever be able to confirm, thus no one can ever say that Caltech is wrong. The main fault in this entire charade, water does not emit light, oh ice might reflect a little bit, but this amount would never be detectable over the millions or billions of galaxies containing trillions of stars in front of the ice.
But again, Caltech can't be proven wrong, so they could discover, hmmmm perhaps they will discover Hydrogen, not binded to Oxygen.
Sure scientist, can infer anything from anything, however current science is inferring that 96 percent of the universe is missing, they are calling the 96 percent dark matter. Well let me brighten, the day here, nothing in the universe is missing, everything, is exactly where it is supposed to be, and in the right amounts. It is just that the scientist looking, are clueless, in fact when the first human came down from a tree, 99.999 percent of all knowledge was unknown, today, 99.999 percent of all knowledge is still unknown, the universe is just that big, and our planet is just that small.
