Abstract

The article highlights the events that preceded the theoretical prediction and recognition of the existence of black holes. The properties of super massive objects, taken for black holes, and the arguments that served as the basis for awarding the Nobel Prize in this area are analyzed. Based on astrophysical data, it is concluded that the black hole hypothesis does not explain most of the observed phenomena. An energodynamic theory of strong gravity is proposed, which sheds new light on the cosmogony of the Universe as a whole.
