Science is amazing to me,.

I told you this already. It is impossible for a black dwarf to exist at this time. It takes a white dwarf 13.7 billion years to reach the point of becoming a black dwarf.

The way a black dwarf forms requires a white dwarf to cool so much that it doesn't produces a significant amount of light or heat. For a white dwarf to cool this much would require about 13.7 billion years.

back on topic, I think there is something fishy about elenin, maybe not the comet itself but every alignment we have a major earthquake. since japan until now we havent seen anything over 7 mag. only a few day...
Actually, there were no alignments on the dates of the quakes. The claimants faked the data.

Obama will be in Denver on the 27th as part of a series of stops in the western states.
How massive is a black dwarf? What sort of gravitational influence would it have on the planets of the inner and outer solar system? Why do you believe a black dwarf would not reflect light? Why do you believe that black dwarfs exist?

It's not called a black dwarf because the surface is black, it's called a black dwarf because it does not emit light. This has nothing to do with it's reflective properties as that would totally depend on what elements it is made up of.
Just using some basic high school science lets assume a black dwarf does exist and it has a perfectly black surface and by some miracle the visible spectrum could not be reflected. The light spectrum is not limited to what we humans can see and would surely be reflecting many other types of light including infrared.
The only known celestial body which does not reflect light is a black hole. This is because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. So any light that enter it cannot escape. And no there is not a black hole in our solar system either, and if there was we would be dead already.

Your basis for claiming that scientists are wrong not only comes from the Binary Research Institute, but are using The Sirius Mystery as evidence? Wow. If that's the kind of evidence you're accepting I have tow wonder if you're rejecting what science says just to be contrarian. It takes a massive amount of time for even a white dwarf to form. First a main sequence star has to go through its entire life, then it has to become a red giant, which then has to go through its entire life, then it becomes a white dwarf. Then at that point the white dwarf has to use up all its energy. It gets even more ridiculous when they try to claim that there is a black dwarf in the Sirius system. Sirius is only about 300 million years old. So, not only do they want us to believe that a black dwarf could form in less than 13.7 billion years, but that one could actually form in a couple hundred million years.

I am more interested in how they can calculate the amount of time it takes.
A White House official confirmed this morning that Obama will visit the Seattle area and the Bay Area on September 25. The following day, the President will visit the Bay Area, the San Diego area and the Los Angeles area, where he's planning to star at two entertainment-related fundraisers, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He'll head to Denver on September 27, a White House official said.
