Space shock as 'unidentified object' feeding mysterious black hole leaves experts baffled
UK Express ^ | Oct. 16, 2019 | Brian McGleenon

A MYSTERIOUS supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy is spitting high energy particles after being fed by an object that has never been seen before.

The baffling phenomenon has put existing theoretical models on their head, and astrophysicists are puzzled as to what is creating such a regular excretion of material from within the bowels of this supermassive black hole. According to the paper titled, 'Nine-hour X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from a low-mass black hole galactic nucleus', the energy erupts from the black hole every nine hours and last for one hour and it's that precision which has baffled scientists.

Turns out the basic concept of a black hole, ie gravity is so strong that nothing can escape is wrong.

Am early time experiment by Omega or Rassilon?

Black hole bowel movement?

Apparently some black holes suck everything up, and now they found the opposite end of one?

The main mystery is why the scientists think/thought they already really understood what there is to understand about the energy dynamics of “black holes” - literally a gravity sink in space. We - humans - are in kindergarten on such things. So far we know the A,B,Cs. Someday we will learn to write.

Maybe I missed it, but if the black hole has such enormous gravity that nothing escapes, how do these particles make it out?

Excellent question.

I think the point is that maybe our understanding of black holes is not correct or complete. I think I read that recently somewhere.

Probably made by Ronco. You can get one on TV

Aliens may have perfected the blue pill.

Just your average black hole mining for collapsed antimatter by someone selling CAM to waring parties.

“Collapsed antimatter (or CAM) is a material commonly used as a spacecraft weapon.

“CAM may be deployed by Displacer against targets ranging from spacecraft to planets. A few tonnes of CAM are purportedly sufficient to destroy an Earth-sized planet.”

"...such a regular excretion of material from within the bowels of this supermassive black hole...

Have two (2) theories about this... The ""first" is that the black hole ate/ingested a supermassive Ex-lax Star...
The "second" is related to the expression "supermassive black hole"... However, I'll pass on mentioning anything about moochie...

Yep. We’re barely a century removed from actually flying something self-propelled that had wings, and now we think we have everything from the universe to the human soul identified, cross-indexed, and filed in some digital database somewhere. Thats a sort of arrogance that’s waiting for a comeuppance. It’s the cockiest kid on the block who lands hardest on his ass. We don’t know squat in the scheme of things.

Well said.

A while back I commented that we are the less intelligent co-occupant of this planet.

I'm thinking a torus of material that gets stirred up locally by a dense object on an elliptical 9 hour orbit
