That’s the mass of half the stars in our galaxy.
“...ridiculously stupidly big”
To calculate masses that large will require a knowledge of maths.

The magnitude and splendor of God's universe is truly incredible.
3 categories for the most massive black holes ever:
“ridiculously stupidly big”
“insanely massive”
“ridiculously ginormous.”

There’s a black hole named OJ?
Well, maybe now that he is in prison. Hahahahahahahaha.
Just a thought ... Could it be that a black hole is the result of a mass sufficiently large to suck in all light that comes within some specific distance of that mass?
We know that light bends slightly as it passes our sister planets while moving on to earth.
The largest object in the universe is Zero’s ego.
Is that anything like the Most Fabulous Object in the World (it does exist)?

The piggish extravagance of an obviously capitalist galaxy

Does this event horizon make me look fat?
I once got a tredagram from a friend in Japan. It said: Rost waddet. Prease send money.
I’ve seen bigger.
There’s a difference between size and mass. What they mean is it has (supposedly) 50 billion times the mass of our Sun. Black holes are comparatively small objects on the galactic scale. At the heart of a black hole is an infinitely dense entity called a singularity. The amount of mass contained within the singularity determines the size of the black hole’s “event horizon”, the spherical region surrounding the singularity where you would need to exceed light speed in order to escape the immense gravitational field of the object. Some BH event horizons are small, others larger than our solar system. It all depends on the amount of mass contained within the given singularity.
One has only to gaze into the far reaches of the WH to see an example of one hundred thousand tredagrams.
and triple the size of the largest observed black hole
That caught my eye ... largest possible isn't even an order of magnitude bigger than the largest "observed." This sort of object defies human comprehension.
I hate when they sling all that technical jargon around.
Heck, that’s nothing. By the time Obama is done with our economy, our deficit will be that big. /sarc
How does this fit into your belief the universe is less than 10,000 years old?
Traveling at ludicrous speed.
