My understanding is that Hawking has demonstrated that there are particles that do escape from black holes, thus making the underlying premise of this story inaccurate.

so...something we created in our imagination can break the laws of physics? Awesome!

Yes, TomBellinson has brought up a good point, and these escaping particles are called Hawking Radiation. This causes even black holes to eventually evaporate, given enough time! So this does undermine the whole concept of black holes not existing, which is inaccurate, because they can be detected by this radiation.

It is time to move beyond Einstein's theory which has been disproved in so many experiments. Take torsion waves for example, which move at least 9 orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light if not instantaneously. Then there is quantum entanglement, which cannot be explained with General relativity. The experimental unification of electromagnetism and gravity was discovered in the 1920s by Thomas Townsend Brown, yet university physics courses are strangely silent on that fact. Try reading "The Covert Colonization of Our Solar System" to discover what is going on in the field of "black science".

Mathematics arises from human imagination. Used and interpreted wisely it can describe the world in useful ways.
However some results are meaningless when checked against measured reality. No list of meaningless results could fail to include the singularity, a mass in a point.
Despite the claims of the Cambridge "scholars", and using the heaviest thing known to date - the Higgs particle- it still is not a point-that is a thing infinitely small.
Even the very smallest thing we can measure the neutrino and electron/positron have measurable size or wavelength.

We therefore have very few facts, and based on this know next to nothing...and everything up to this moment is ancient history as we try to stare and speculate into the past, to only imagine what the future holds, in humanities fleeting moment in relative time.

"In other words, though a black hole may exist from the point of view of an omniscient being and be generally accepted by scientists, we can't actually prove they exist because we can't observe them."
Actually there are plenty of things we can't "see", but we know they exist because of the clear effect they have on nearby systems. In the case of black holes, their gravitational impact is beyond doubt.

The fifth dimension provides room for a real probability array, so there is no need for instantaneous communication.

They've been watching to many reruns of Fring the sci-fi Tv show.

From what I understand, Bugs Bunny already has been proven capable of breaking many of the fundamental laws of physics. But, or course, his type of fiction was not first produced using a computer model. So now that we can say the fantasy is computer generated it makes the news?
Where is the ACTUAL intellect in this? It has taken some upper level math and a computer to make speculations on a fantasy item. This is much like Mike and Sully of Monsters, Inc. So yes, not everyone can be Pixar in their own home, but at least Mike and Sulley entertained the masses and made millions to produce more entertainment for the masses. This 5th dimensional black hole story does what?
This is the type of thing people should not be being paid to do, but it could be fun as a hobby. This is the problem with modern so-called science. We can all go on computer aided fantasy trips exploring the unknown - and it can be fun. But the problem is the general populace would look at the title and think something legitimate to our world - not imaginations - has been show here.
I think I 'll go watch MIke and Sulley again.
