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. Quoting: Defj@m 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! That was kinda my point, although I am not that knowledgeable with physics but that's sort of my take on it. I don't think we have the damnedest idea what these things actually are yet. Have to agree with this. If black holes suck everything that comes close, into them--then how can they be spewing out vast beams of matter and energy? Unless of course, the black hole is a sort of portal that sucks matter in on one side and expels it in perhaps a different form from the other side. |

Quoting: Manu-Koelbren That was kinda my point, although I am not that knowledgeable with physics but that's sort of my take on it. I don't think we have the damnedest idea what these things actually are yet. Totally! We are but infants in understanding any of this. The scientific community is surprisingly arrogant at claiming to understand these things when publishing such results and conclusions. 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. I like the cut of your jib WTF is a jib anyway? :p He tickled your toaster!!!! |

They pulled it out of a hat to make sure the gravity based cosmology didn't collapse. When I look at that picture I see some kind of POLARITY.

Unless of course, the black hole is a sort of portal that sucks matter in on one side and expels it in perhaps a different form from the other side. Because the light and matter is shot from the accretion disk formed around the black hole, not from inside the black hole itself. I can respect not being completely sold black holes exist. The laws of Physics are still unknown in many places, and it's possible that they are an error (Though I think you people overstate how little we understand about how physics works) but there ARE explanations for phenomena such as this. |
