That’s a wormhole to go down that will blow your mind on the size of some black holes, and that’s just “Supermassive Black Holes” This thing is a “stupendously massive”.


Gonna need to get up to ludicrous speed just to get through it.

Like anyone could even know that, Napoleon.

This seems like a case of the blind men trying to describe an elephant. "might be 100 billion sons big, maybe more. Who knows. It's also invisible since it's a black hole. But no way my instrument I measure it with is malfunctioning, even a little.

I'm pretty sure about this, so the only reasonable thing to do is hurry to publish my hypothesis. "

This is a rather solid plan in the scientifical community. Make an outlandish hypothesis about something so immense and bizarre, use big scientastic words like "stupendous" in your dumbed down explanation. If you are proven wrong, it'll be years after you are dead and forgotten.

On a side note, what is with the word "explanation"? if the root is explain, where does the "i" go... Some things just can't be explained with science.

What does Star Trek and toilet paper have in common?

They search the black hole looking for Clingons.

Sorry, old kids joke seemed appropriate

IIRC they created the concept of dark matter because there wasn’t enough mass in the universe to account for some of the movements they were observing. I wonder if they’ve relooked at this given the size and mass of some of these back holes.

I’m of the opinion that if you have to make something up because your math and observations don’t align…then it’s probably the math or observations.

Given the second law of thermo, it started out more massive. I guess you can take it all the way back to the big bang.

Of course. When astrophysicists say "dark matter", they are admitting their observations are not sufficient and they trust the math.

Black holes are wormholes to the other side of the universe. On our side we their black holes as dark matter.

It's pulling mass in from another universe?

The human mind can’t comprehend the size of our sun, much less 100 billion of them. Space is bonkers.
