Don't ask me! Had no idea black holes erupt. I knew they leaked and that spectacular things happen when they collide with other black holes, but I didn't know they erupted.

This is too heavy for me. The gravity of the situation is overwhelming.

This reminds me, in a oblique way, of the
Star Trek: The Next Generation finale 'All Good Things'. Wouldn't it be a bear if we detected something that massive, having happened billions of years ago, and it was rippling through the universe one galaxy at a time, just 'snuffing out' everything as it goes? Kind of an inverted Big Bang, if you will. And this planet, this galaxy, had only a few million years left before it arrived, and there wouldn't be one thing the human race could do to stop it from one generation to the next. Even in the distant future, if humans mastered the ability to jump across titanic distances of space to outrun it, they would do so knowing they were living on borrowed time. Oh, to be a fly on the wall over the eons as history unfolded, just to see how civilization conducted itself as the clock ticked closer and closer to midnight.
Make for one helluva sci-fi series, anyway.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

So we’re seeing something that’s 10 billion years old - but what happend to this super-massive black hole? Did it just collapse in on itself and go “Poof!” What happend to all the matter it collected? And now Stephen Hawkins is telling everyone that will listen to him that Almighty God didn’t do any of this?

The entire concept of a black hole is difficult to get one’s mind around. The energies, distances and time scales involved are so massive as to be intimidating...

I am shocked by the cavalier attitude of some these posters. How can they stand by with snarky little entendres when there are super-massive black holes out there? The government is focusing on recovery, jobs, and eclipsing elections with the declaration of martial law and is utterly ignoring the danger posed by black holes! I, for one, have no intention of allowing this situation to continue unopposed. I propose an immediate boycott of black holes and refuse to cooperate with the government in any regard until such time as the black hole problem is addressed in a satisfactory manner.

Thanks LibWhacker. Seems like I'd read something like this, but frankly, I'm lazy, plus I'm taking it easy because it's Sunday, so I didn't check to see if there's an earlier topic, and will ping this with alacrity and hopefully with impunity.
