Astronomers find most distant black hole

Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope

[Para-Ord.45]

FYI: The biggest black hole is the space

between algore`s ears.

Par for this hole is officially set at 5,985,347,240,520,481,372.

the Big Bang is believed to have occurred around 13.7 billion years ago

It's hypothetical but keeps cosmologists occupied and off the street.

Re: "It is puzzling how such enormous black holes are found so early on in the universe ... because we believe that black holes take a long time to grow," said team member John Hutchings of the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics.

Well, there are some holes... that are more recent!

Gadzooks & beer! I say... Would you look at the red shift on that one!

Funny, I wonder if God pops open a couple of cold ones and does swing the ol’ Iron.

I can see Jesus being the Caddy. Jesus wouldn't’t let God cheat on his score card either.

Sometime around the universe's one billionth birthday, the first stars and galaxies began to shine and ionized all of the hydrogen atoms in the universe (or removed an electron from each atom).

This journalist should learn a little science.

Here we go again. What about them black ho’s cracker boy?

Interesting.

It's a step down from God, but Caddyshack came close:

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

You must have a pretty long drive because thats nearly 12.8 million miles per golf swing. Although putting into a black hole is easy, it almost always rolls into the middle and as far as we know you always lose your ball.

Just dont hit it into that nebula on the right. It’s a bear to get it out of there.

Most distant "black hole" 13 billion light years removed from Earth...for a minute there I thought you were speaking of the Reverend Al then I realized there was no "A" between "black" and "hole".

AlGore to claim discovery tomorrow.

[lilylangtree]

Looks like a cosmic zit.

[Hegemony Cricket]

I use a warped driver.

[Lancey Howard]

I bet the big bang really startled people back then.
Must have been pretty loud. Wonder what caused it?

I’m glad there’s a Canadian connection in this - cue up Rush’s “Cygnus X-1”.
