European researchers have found 30 previously hidden supermassive black holes anchoring faraway galaxies, which suggests there at least twice as many of the colossal gravity wells as thought.

Isn't that like the Europeans to overlook them? They probably hid behind crescent moons, in which the Euros will overlook anything.

The torus looks something like a donut. Inside it is a thinner disk of material, called an accretion disk, that spirals in toward the black hole and is accelerated to a significant fraction of light-speed.

With that scientific description we have now discovered the Mothers of all Doughnuts and it's no use denying their allure anymore. Eat them before they eat us.

That is all you hear about, the speed of light. I am going to aply for a government grant to study the speed of dark.
