He’s here all week folks try the veil it’s great!!

it has a mass 40 billion times that of the Sun.

That is a number so vast that it is practically meaningless.....

I wish some of my relatives lived as far away as this black hole does.

[George from New England]

So useless science.

They don’t have a clue what is happening now. This all happened long before humans were even on the earth.

C’mon. More media talking about the useless.

The Sun is 1.3 million times the mass of the Earth.

Kinda let’s you know how small we really are...........

I thought the galaxy was on Orion’s belt.

Local universe is another term for visible universe, which extends to the visible horizon, the point where cosmic expansion exceeds the speed of light, and we can never see beyond it by any means known to physics. That's a distance of about 14 billion light years as we observe it, but has by now expanded to about 42 billion light years away. The farthest we can see with visible light is just short of that by about 300,000 light years, and known as the particle horizon. This is the point shortly after the start of the Big Bang when space became transparent.

But the point is that the local universe is probably very small compared to the rest of it outside the visible horizon.

Look at it this way - if each solar mass were a buck, it would take 1300 of these black holes to pay for Lizzie Warren's healthcare program.

"lol

why is it the science threads here usually have a bunch of the funniest comments of the day? :)

Because we all are still immature sixth graders at heart?

[Moltke]

using direct mass measurements

To accomplish this feat, the team first constructed the largest bathroom scale ever devised by mankind.

Scheherazade, is that you?

[Red Badger]

Nah, they just borrowed Hilliary’s........................

[dp0622]

That was my first guess!! :)

It’s amazing how the body ages but the mind doesn’t keep up.

VERY FEW people are 90 in their heads.

My mother’s card playing senior group gossips and fights more than high school girls lol

but only behind each other’s backs :)

Is it Black holes that collapse on themselves or is that just wishing thinking on my part?
