[Space Bites Bonus] Black Holes Could Be Something Else Entirely. And We Can Test It
Black Holes could be something completely different. They might be super compact objects composed of fermionic dark matter. And we can test it.

"We know that 85% of the universe is mass that we cannot see". Who is this 'we', not me. Please state when you're reciting the tenants of your religion and not just facts.
I had a theory decades ago that the Ejection from Black Holes is actually Dark Matter. That Black Holes are Dark Matter nurseries. AI just confirmed that is very possible, and scientists may have found proof. I''m waiting to hear.
Big fan of the short bonus videos
I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my mind around the MASS of a black hole. It's clear that the masses of black holes can vary widely, but what exactly does that mass consist of? It's not energy. It's not "stuff." All qualitative information is apparently lost. I understand that there is a "singularity" involved, but how do different singularities have different masses?
There is mass and energy that goes into the black hole. It stays there because it continues to have that mass. If nit not only would mass be destroyed but it could no longer have gravitational effects.
