   I'll try, but if you didn't understand the _Scientific American_ article,   
   I don't think it will help, as the authors of that article are already   
   using newspaper-level english, i.e., less than 6th-grade level, and I was   
   writing at a level hardly higher than that.   
      
   The authors of the "gravastar" theory claim that "black holes" don't exist,   
   because they believe Einstein's theory of spacetime fails if spacetime gets   
   bent too far.   
      
   They believe that instead, spacetime turns into something different, that   
   ISN'T space and ISN'T time and ISN'T matter, so that there isn't any "thing"   
   there that we would recognize as a "thing" any more, and that nothing else can   
   possibly penetrate into, because nothing that we would recognize as a "thing"   
   can possibly exist in such an everything-less non-happening-ness no-place.   
      
   Most scientists don't take this crazy idea seriously, because they think it is   
   even more disgusting than these two guys think the idea of "black holes" is.   
      
   There.  Did that help ???  I didn't think so...
