Because black holes do not have magnetic fields, Dr Schild's team suggest in The Astronomical Journal, the quasar must be powered by a dense ball of plasma called a MECO (magnetospheric eternally collapsing object). But according to the astronomers' theories the MECOs' existence precludes the possibility of black holes.
(Via The Anomalist.)
If verified, does this preclude wormholes? And if so -- damn!

WMB,
Interesting! As an avowed science nut I'm familiar with the Schwarzschild radius, but I didn't know the translation...
