    I’m guessing she didn’t believe in black holes either, since they destroy matter.

      Why do you think black holes destroy matter? There’s an (unproven) argument that they destroy information, but I’ve never heard an argument that they destroy matter.

        They don’t “destroy” it per se, but they presumably take the matter out of the universe, which, from the perspective of the universe itself, would effectually be the same thing as destruction.

          That’s not at all what a black hole does. The matter is still there, you just can’t get it back out of the hole. There’s is no “removal from the universe”. In fact it still exerts gravitational force. That’s why they’re super massive black holes and just regular black holes.
