“Enormous black holes, some of the most powerful sources of radiation in the universe, apparently switch on after galaxies collide, researchers have found. “
They only SWITCH on, in the same sense that tornadoes switch on as the result of a collision between two weather fronts.

“These monster black holes evolve in a way that is strongly related to the amount of dark matter that surrounds them and that is intimately related to the probability of galaxies to merge,”
Or, in layman’s terms, collision results are unpredictable, but pretty!

Do black holes ever get full?
To: Dallas59
Since the Milky Way is reputed to have a black hole at it’s center, just which galaxy did it collide with, and when?

Do black holes ever get full?Depends. Does 'stuff' just go 'in'? Or does it go 'through'?

Do black holes have a preference for dark matter?

Don’t know but Stephen Hawking claims they do put out visible light known as Hawking Radiation.

Comes out the other side as primordial soup.

Watching a Discovery show the other night I learned that science cannot correlate the amount of mass in the universe with the amount of gravity so they invented "Dark Matter and are now searching for it.
Can't account for missing energy in their calculations so someone invented "Dark Energy" and are now looking for that.
One fellow noticed some unusual movement of stars in his studies and has coined the term "Dark Flow".
Makes one wonder what dimension these fella's belong to.

More pseudo science making up explanations for things they have no concept of.

If dark matter falls into a black hole does it heat up and radiate?

But we must keep guessing and proving our guesses so we can prove there is no creator. When we finally prove a lucky guess, we again will learn how abysmally ignorant we really are.
