I'm not a mathematician, and you know that, so, your point is simply more ridicule of me, because my role is as a researcher, which is valuable, and there are plenty of members on ATS who could post about the ins and outs of math, but I suspect they stay away because of the reaction they would get.
Funny that you have the cognitive ability to recognize it's silly, yet you don't admit it's silly. A black hole is a black hole, and it can be different sizes. The smallest one we think we've discovered so far is several solar masses, and that would be a stable black hole. In theory there is a critical mass below which a black hole will not be stable, and the less massive it is, the faster it would "evaporate". It was theorized the LHC might have the ability to make some small black holes but to my knowledge they haven't observed any yet.

I see you still haven't explained why nothing disappears into the black hole in the middle of the Rodin coil
Surely you know that the term "black hole" in the context of a Rodin coil has nothing to do with the popular concept of things getting sucked into a black hole in a galaxy never to return?
Surely you must know that the question itself is a mockery? An attempt to trap? Ridiculous? Silly?
So yes, of course when Rodin says black hole in the middle of a donut, of course I'm thinking he means a real black hole. Why wouldn't I? That's the way real black holes are: surrounded by donuts.
By comparing the proportion of X-rays to infrared light coming from around a black hole, McKernan and his colleagues indirectly figured out how material may be distributed around the black hole. After partitioning the data into those observed edge-on and those observed face-on, the team found that 90 percent of the active galactic nuclei observable face-on had basically the same proportion of X-rays to infrared light.
The conclusion: No matter the heft of the black hole, its surrounding material took the shape of a doughnut with a black hole at its center.
"Now we know they all look like doughnuts, and the same kind of doughnut too," McKernan said. "The lack of variety would disappoint Homer Simpson."
You have to do better than that. What are the properties of this "black hole" or "Rodin hole" or whatever you want to call it that we can measure in the lab? That's right, you don't know, and neither does Rodin. So yes it's silly to claim it's a black hole, and just as silly to claim what he's calling a black hole isn't a real black hole if you can't define exactly what it is, and how to measure it, so we can see if it exists. And of course if it's not a black hole, then he shouldn't be calling it a black hole.

I interpret him to mean sucking aether in and expelling energy out - black hole - white hole.

I can't help you. You have to do your own research.
Translation: I'll continue using a meter to measure the electrical resistance of a wire, to test any extraordinary claims about what happens to it.

You're in the same predicament as BS.
What exciting times these are, though. The times really are a-changin.' The aforementioned mainstream trusting planet earth A residents will eventually catch up with residents of planet earth B, and when that happens, we're going to have a better world.

You have not the capacity to understand. You've made that crystal clear. Try meditating. It might help you.

You on the other hand, will never actually measure it, but yet you will believe a silly story somebody tells you about what will happen to it.
In the case of Abell 520, the situation is completely different: The galaxies sailed through the collision, but the dark matter piled up in the middle, along with the hot gas.

An interesting phenomenon appeared when he took a vibrating plate covered with liquid and tilted it.The liquid did not yield to gravitational influence and run off the vibrating plate but stayed on and went on constructing new shapes as though nothing had happened. If, however, the oscillation was then turned off, the liquid began to run, but if he was really fast and got the vibrations going again, he could get the liquid back in place on the plate. According to Jenny, this was an example of an antigravitational effect created by vibrations.
In his research with the tonoscope, Jenny noticed that when the vowels of the ancient languages of Hebrew and Sanskrit were pronounced, the sand took the shape of the written symbols for these vowels, while our modern languages, on the other hand, did not generate the same result!
