Have a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory

If that theory (String Theory) can be proved, then the statement (made by the OP), cannot be proved wrong, at least from my (slightly unintelligent) inference of that theory.
"C++ : Where friends have access to your private members."
C++: You accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself and shoot them all in the foot. Providing emergency medical assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying, "That's me, over there."

One of the main problems with 'string theory' <<I think xkcd is the best {mumble,muble} comic on the internets>>is that it has not produced one single prediction that can be tested by experiment. One of the main components of scientific investigation is that it be falsifiable - that it make a prediction that can be tested and proved or disproved. The theory is quite pretty and I really like all the pretty graphics that people have come up with to explain what the theory is but... unless it can actually predict something (as opposed to explaining things we already know) it could become a dead end. Then all those 'string theorists' who have spent the last 20 years working with the theory could just be relegated to the dust bin of history along with 'phlogistan'.

I say your mouth is your downfall. With such comments, you show everyone you don't have class; ...ridiculing your spouse for the sake of a cheap laugh.

And I don't have trouble telling you in a way you can defend yourself if you choose so.

Now I shall ask everyone. Would you rather behave like this and not only come off as rude and bitter, but expose the general public to apparent issues that they have absolutely no interest in, or just leave your entirely worthless opinion of someone through a semi-private medium and let everyone else get on with their lives?

Why don't you ask the question to yourself first? Specially the part about worthless opinion.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your opinion of AncientDragon's class is entirely worthless. It is grounded on nothing substantial and serves no other purpose than to stir up confrontation (which I admit I may have taken the bait on). It does not in any way validate/invalidate the quality of his character.

And honestly, do you really think that anybody following this thread gives an honest damn about what you think of his class? You really are cute.

As to your remarks about asking myself the same question, I already did. That's the very point. Isn't it abundantly clear to you by now that I prefer the latter option? Cute and thick.

In order to mitigate the unintended wrong doing toward the intention of the Original Poster, I offer this explanation link and my public apologies to ithelp if my personal email was not enough.

The only way we know that black holes exist is that they vibrate the things around them - matter 'falling' into BHs produce X-rays at the event horizon, BHs can behave as a 'gravity lens' focusing objects behind them, BHs produce gravity ripples in space-time when interacting with objects => neutron stars.
