The largest black holes in the universe... sit at the centers of almost every galaxy in the cosmos. Even the Milky Way has one, a monster at 4 million solar masses, designated as Sagittarius A*.
...[A]s far as we know, the only way to form black holes is through the deaths of massive stars. When they die, they leave behind a black hole a few times more massive than the sun. To get to supergiant status, they have to merge with other black holes and/or consume as much gas as possible, bulking up all those millions of solar masses...
Either we don't understand something fundamental about the astrophysics of black hole growth...or the first, giant black holes actually formed in a much earlier, much more primordial epoch.
...[T]heoretical physicists are hard at work, every single day, to go far, far beyond the current boundaries of known physics. One such example is called supersymmetry, and it's an attempt by physicists to both explain some of the inner workings of the particle world and to predict the existence of brand-new particles.
In supersymmetry, every particle of the Standard Model (the name given to our current best understanding of the subatomic realm) is paired with a partner. The reason for this pairing is a fundamental symmetry found deep in the mathematics that might describe nature. But this symmetry is broken (through the machinations of some complex mechanisms), so the supersymmetry partner particles don't simply float around in the world or make grand entrances in our particle colliders.
Instead, because of the broken symmetry, the partner particles are forced to have incredible masses, so high that they can only appear in the highest-energy reactions in the universe. So far, we haven't found any evidence for supersymmetry partner particles in our collider experiments...

I thought Barack Hussein Obama was the largest Black Hole.
No matter what you call them, they still suck.
Espresso macchiatinos.
I don’t know but I wish one would suck up half the country right about now.
No. That would be Moochelle Obama.
Super-symmetry is garbage. Dark matter is matter that has been blasted to the limit but still holds mass/charge. The key to super dark holes lies in the crazy abundance of dark matter.
Lol.
Gravitinos
Sounds like the next Taco Bell creation.
Mathematics and physics are two entirely different fields of intellect. Many things are quite possible in mathematics that don't exist in the physical world. Included are infinity, its inverse cousin, the singularity, imaginary numbers, etc. Many physical things can be reasonably described by mathematical things that don't actually exist in the physical world. That doesn't make them real.
And yet antimatter, specifically antiprotons, lie at the root of supersymmetry theory.
I don’t know, but I did stay at a Holiday in last night.
