> black holes have never been confirmed to exist.  the phenomenon itself has been as confirmed to exist as anything else. we call that observable series of effects on light, gravity, etc a black hole even though we lack the ability to directly observe the thing itself and different theories of how it works are contested. this isn't even unique to black holes, and in the past applied to other phenomena like the cell. > most of what we "know" about the universe is just assumptions stacked on assumptions filtered through a faulty human perspective that applies to all things, not just most.
