As this black hole pulls in gas and dust from its surroundings, it releases an immense amount of energy, making quasars some of the most luminous objects in the universe.

I thought black holes are so dense the gravitational pull won't even let light escape. If so, how are they luminous?

Or... We have a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of the “black hole” phenomena...

I’m going with “we don’t know what we don’t know yet”...

Not only that but we can date Galaxy Supermodels. Like Melania.

I don’t know beans about this stuff, although I find it fascinating. One question that comes to my mind is we evidently only see one side, what’s happening on the other side?

There should be an ‘*’ at the end of each sentence.

The footnote * would state: This may or may not be true, and is based fully on speculation that was just proven to be wrong.

Funny how they never address this question. They’ve been dodging it for years.
