We have shown though out the "The Imagineer’s Chronicles" observations of our environment suggest that space is composed of a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

The observation made by the Chandra X-ray observatory team in the video to the right that one can completely define a black hole in terms of just two numbers: its mass and spin is one of them.

The narration begins:

"Black holes sound wildly complicated.  After all, there are all sorts of bizarre things going on: intense gravity, the warping of the fabric of space, the distortion of time itself.  But when it comes to describing black holes, it comes down to just two numbers: the mass of the black hole and its spin.  That’s right.  Everything you physically need to describe a black hole is found in just these two numbers."

However, there exists a fundamental theoretical inconsistency between the existence of black holes, these two numbers, and our present interpretation of the composition of a vacuum.

The video describes how it is possible to measure the mass of a black hole, which according theory is a result of the gravitational collapse of a mass to a singularity or an infinitely density one-dimensional point.  This means the mass of a black hole has no volume.

It goes on to explain that they measure its spin by observing how "The black hole’s gravity strips gas from that star, and the gas falls toward the black hole, forming a swirling disk of orbiting matter".

But, as mentioned earlier according to theory, the mass of a black hole is contained in a singularity or an infinitely density one-dimensional point which has no volume.  Therefore, it cannot have the properties associated with spin.

However, this means they must be, in the video observing the spin of the vacuum that makes up the black holes gravitational energy boundary and not the spin of the mass at its center.

This fact was recognized in the video when narrator says, "Near the event horizon, the black hole’s spin drags everything around with it, an apple, an astronaut, even space itself, at the dizzying rate of 750 revolutions per second."

However, this observation implies that space devoid of all particular matter is spinning because it was singled out from the particular matter such as apples or astronaut.

Therefore, one must assume from this observation that space or the vacuum sounding the singularity at the center of a black hole is spinning.

But our present interpretation of the vacuum is that it does not contain any substance such as particles, which means it cannot have the properties associated with spin.

Therefore, because we observe the vacuum of space to be spinning around the infinitely dense one-dimensional point mass of a black hole it must contain a substance that will allow us to assign it a property of spin.

However, mass is the only substance that can be assigned the properties of spin and because a vacuum is defined as a volume that does not contain any particle matter one must assume that it contains continuous non-quantized or non-particle form.        

Therefore, the observations made in the video "Just two numbers is all you need" means if the mass of a black hole is confined to an infinitely dense one-dimensional point with no volume as theory predicts, we must modify our understanding of the composition of vacuum to include a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

Some may try to define the spin of a black hole in terms of the spin of matter falling into it.  However according to the theoretical bases on which a black hole is formed they can exist without any matter falling into it.  Therefore, one cannot use it to explain the spin of a black hole.
