>"There are black holes that are 3 million solar masses spewing jets, and there's this thing, which is 2 percent of a solar mass, doing the same thing," said study team member Ray Jayawardhana of the University of Toronto

If I would question
"conventional wisdom" on
our understanding

of astrophysics,
I'd focus on this bit of
scale invariance.

Most things in real life
depend on relationships
that are fixed to size.

What works at one scale
fails badly at another.
(No giant insects!)

Yet here we have "jets"
with seemingly similar
physics at their roots

but their scales couldn't
really be farther apart.
I suspect something

is going on here
that will alter our thinking
as we learn more facts.
