It’s just so nice to have one so close in the neighborhood, it makes us just so very much more diverse, cultured, less ignorant and not so secluded from the rest of the universe.

There are local parts of the universe, and more distant parts. No need to invoke other universes. The local universe is that part of our universe within a billion light years. (Source)

“ The team hopes that by studying the structure of Holm 15A, it may be possible to estimate the mass of black holes at the core of far more distant galaxies where direct measurements are not possible.“

Mass sizes will be given as big, bigger and big gulp.

Love article like this one (/sarc). They claim this black hole is 700 million light years away. Light travels (in a vacuum) at 186,000 miles a second. To determine how far this black hole is, you would need to multiply 186,000 times the number of seconds in a year, times 700 million. Now it’s difficult enough to believe we know what exists at that distance, but then to state the black hole is the size of 40 billion suns (our sun). Bunk. I’ll go to the grave never believing this incredible BS.
