| <<LOOK`n thru YOU>> User ID: 921787 United States05/23/2011 11:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WOW! Quoting: SickScent:bhjets: An international team, including NASA-funded researchers, using radio telescopes located throughout the Southern Hemisphere has produced the most detailed image of particle jets erupting from a supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy. "These jets arise as infalling matter approaches the black hole, but we don't yet know the details of how they form and maintain themselves," said Cornelia Mueller, the study's lead author and a doctoral student at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany... ...These lobes are filled with matter streaming from particle jets near the galaxy's central black hole. Astronomers estimate that matter near the base of these jets races outward at about one-third the speed of light... ...The enormous energy output of galaxies like Cen A comes from gas falling toward a black hole weighing millions of times the sun's mass. Through processes not fully understood, some of this infalling matter is ejected in opposing jets at a substantial fraction of the speed of light. Detailed views of the jet's structure will help astronomers determine how they form... What is really out there is just amazing...mind blowing..we have so much to learn.. |

Don't be scared...there really are no 'black holes'. They are just a theory, and there are many other theories that make much more sense than 'black holes'. Yeah, um that's what she said...

| GeekOfTheWeek User ID: 1383040 United States05/23/2011 12:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You know, I've always been curious about black hole jets. If gravity is so intense that not even light can escape, how do they produce these jets? Does that mean the jets are moving FASTER than light? Seriously. I've read a lot about them, and frankly it just does not get explained enough. I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief... |

It was a racist comment. You see, he is a racist "rebel with morals" and he thinks he will go to heaven, acting this way. He is saying he is afraid of having sex with black women. When he says "black holes" he means a black woman's private parts. |
