Stunning pic of a ginormous black hole spewing out vast beams of matter and energy-- Mind-blowing
Black holes may be the most ironic objects in the Universe. They are objects with gravity so fierce that if you venture too close, literally no force in the Universe can prevent you from falling in. Not even light can escape, which is why we call them what we do.

Yet they also power the brightest objects in the Universe. As matter falls in, it forms a disk just outside the black hole that gets infernally hot, blasting out radiation bright enough that it can be seen across the Universe. Not only that, due to forces in the disk like friction and magnetism ramped up to mind-numbing intensities, this disk can focus and blast out two incredibly powerful beams of matter and energy which scream out into space, forming structures both vast and beautiful … like the ones seen in the galaxy Hercules A:

Yeah but do you really know exactly what a black hole does? or where it comes from? What actual function is has? We've come a long way in examining such phenomena but we don't really know what this universe is all about, we could be in a cell floating in some unknown being's body for all we know.

"Black Holes" = bsflag

The Universe runs on Electricity (39 orders of magnitude more powerful than gravity).

99.9999% of everything we can observe in the Universe, is Plasma, carrying unimaginable electric currents from somewhere, to some other place.

Dividing by zero is an elementary schoolboy math howler.

Except..... there's no real proof that black holes actually exist. At best, the image is unexplained phenomena. They have to fudge the numbers to make black holes fit into physics by basically adding a magical number from thin air.

Maybe in 10 or 20 years we'll look back on the black hole theory and chuckle about how wrong we got it.

Still a very cool phenomena to think about though, don't get me wrong!

Well black holes are not fully understood yet, most people think they just swallow matter and it´s gone fore ever, but i just saw a scientific show the other day explaining how Black holes just can dissapear after time.

What i think this pic actually shows is some kind of recycling process going on one galaxy is consumed to probably form two new from the new existing gasclouds from the jets.

You can probably think of the new gas clouds that formed to form new galaxies and new star systems.

Thats what i think about this pic.

What they aren't telling you is the one in the MILKY WAY GALAXY. The Galaxy were about to Align with and pass thru and start our decent in has a Black Hole as you are aware that is doing the same exact thing. Spewing !!!!!!!! Guess where its heading...At our Sun and our Planet. Bottoms up!

With this picture, people should begin understanding that things CAN escape a black hole.

There are many theories of black holes that are just simply WRONG, yet they continue to spew these falsities. It is not only about gravity, but vastly more important are the magnetic fields.

Beautiful picture OP.
