It’s still not exactly known what causes these jets. But you have huge energies concentrated in a very small space driving them. Whole star clusters of matter swirling around at near light speed and crushed by gravitational forces billions of times anything we know. Our own knowledge of physics begins to break down.

Okay, VERY cool. But I hate it when articles about astronomy tell us about these things without also telling us WHERE they are located at. Which constellation are they in the direction of?? Who knows, maybe some of us have telescopes that we want to try to aim at it :-)

Now how in the world can they know the approximate age of the universe? Unless the earth is the very center of the universe wouldn’t that be impossible to measure?

“Black hole jet streams are a phenomenon made up of charged ions, electrons, and other particles. These are accelerated nearly to the speed of light by the enormous magnetic fields that surround black holes.”

~~~~~~~

Perhaps “Mainstream Science” will finally accept that it’s an “Electric Universe” we’re living in, and the electric part matters a whole lot more than they’ve been admitting to.

A magnetically and gravitationally contained micro singularity would be the greatest power source imaginable set into spinning motion and feed it matter at it’s accretion disk out the top and bottom comes jets like this AR near light speeds charged particles can could be captured and slowed down against billions of election volts the net output would be billions of volts and millions of not billions of amps direct current. Simply put it would be a means of converting matter directly to energy at near E=MC^2 levels of efficiency and output.

A particle accelerator like a scaled up large hadron collider could in theory create a nano singularity which if you contained it and started feeding it matter faster than it’s Hawkins radiation evaporates it at some point it would be metastable and you could spin it up a s feed that disk and the singularity itself. Course don’t lose containment or the planet is having it’s last bad day.

I’m reminded of the weapon in “Foundation”

The two jets originate from the top and bottom of the supermassive black hole and have the combined power of trillions of suns.

In space, there is no top and bottom.

Imagine figuring out how to harness that type of energy. It might be enough to support Al Gore’s carbon footprint.

Did they name the black hole after Kamelhole Harris?

Astronomers recently spotted two unprecedented plasma jets blasting out of a supermassive black hole and into space beyond its galaxy.

Meh.

I do that after too much Taco Bell and Tequila.

What exactly are black hole jets?

Pull my finger and find out.
