Frederick, I am so happy with your reply. Also because you like to discuss this with your daughter.
The two of you must have a good time, being able to discuss this, and match & challenge each other in ideas. Good for you; it puts a smile on my face.
I am going to take you to where Stephen Hawking had us standing at one point in time. He said that the Theory of Everything may be something north of the north pole and we can never achieve it.
My humble claim is that he was in the right spot, but instead of looking up, he should have looked down.
At the north pole, the entire Earth is south. We do not even have to stand there ourselves to know that this is true. Low and behold, we have a singularity here, because the entire Earth can be declared with a single direction.

You know immediately that something is fishy when I say that Earth is a singularity. But my claim is that scientists are doing exactly that with Black Holes. They have fantastic calculations on the blackboard and standing on the shoulders of great men and women, they look even further until they see a horizon beyond which one can find a singularity of some kind.
The calculations match them up, just like it is correct to state that the entire Earth is South.

When I mention to not believe in Black Holes, and consider them Black Eyes, then I mean to say that everything about them is true — but the invisible mass.
There is no invisible mass.
Let’s first explain this in the simple binary-star system model. Two stars, but three gravitational centers. I hope you see that there are gravitational centers, two in total, with each star, and that combined they have an additional gravitational center too. This third center, we all know, has no mass.
I also want to take you to the center of the Earth where Jules Verne already showed us that a compass doesn’t work there anymore. All forces are in balance.
There is zero gravity at the center of the earth — simply because all gravity butts head there with gravity. End result is a rather peaceful place (but with a whole lot of pressure)
If you allow me to make this 3D model a 2D model, then one can imagine that matter at 2 o’clock is attracted by matter ranging from 5 o’clock all the way to 11 o’clock. The direction for matter at 2 o’clock will therefore simply be toward the middle (where there is no gravity).
Back to a galaxy and to the center where we have the Black Hole/Black Eye. It is surrounded by a tremendous amount of masses (nearby and far away) and they all help build the strongest gravitational force in the galaxy in that center.
Something similar about that situation can be declared for hurricanes. The Eye of the Storm can be described as relatively peaceful (sometimes with blue skies above), but the storms that border the Eye are the strongest ever measured on earth.
Same for gravity coming off of all these masses. They combine in a center, and in this center there is an eye in which all is in balance, and yet right next to it the fiercest gravitational forces roam.

Lastly, the picture we’ve all seen of a Black Eye.
Photons coming toward a Black Eye don’t make it through, like a butterfly never able to make it straight through a hurricane’s eye. We take a picture and we see that the center is pitch dark — not a single photon made it through to enter our camera.
Right around the Eye, however, we see a ring of light because all photons are thrown off their paths and the ones coming toward us light up that Eye in a beautiful ring.
Frederick,
I hope you like this alternate view and that you recognize that the same Big Whisper model is used over and over again: a peaceful center, the worst possible conditions right next to it, and everything much calmer further out.
I am curious how you and your daughter will react to this information. I wish I could be there when you are discussing this and everything else that comes to mind.
Thank you again for your reply. : -)
