Researchers have discovered what may be the most massive black holes ever detected.

Data suggests these "ultramassive" black holes are growing at the rate of the galaxies they're in.

The giant space voids have masses that are at least 10 billion times that of the sun.

Teams of researchers have discovered what may be the most massive black holes ever detected, and have found that they may be growing faster than the stars around them.

Using X-rays and radio emissions, scientists analyzed 72 galaxies lying in the middle of galaxy clusters that are considered to be some of the brightest and most massive, according to a release from NASA. The clusters are roughly 4.3 to 12.2 billion light-years away from Earth and contain “ultramassive” black holes that are roughly 10 times bigger than the average void.

Are you sure they weren't doctors taking Hillary Clinton's pulse?

Oh that's it... who's with me for an end of the world party in Vegas?!?!

I've been to Vegas & it would be a great venue to party at the end of the world.

And this is how universes are born. Ultramassive Black Holes... (i.e. God's Vagina...)

Not even light gets out of them. I just wonder where things like planets & star systems wind up when they get sucked into a giant black hole. Another dimension? I think sci fi authors may have picked up on that possibility.

What I was referring to was the theory that on the other side of a black hole is a white hole, which is the exact opposite of a black hole (i.e. nothing get IN to a white hole, the exact opposite). Thee's more to it of course, but that's the gist of it. White hole = big bang.

What you're referencing is Lee Smolins idea that black hole production is the key to a universes ultimate survival, and how white holes are the other end of a singularity, which produces a big bang on the other side.

It's a really interesting idea. There are even more exotic ones like those of inflationary cosmology, which predict other universes in a landscape of different environments.

Nice Horsehead nebula pic, btw. :thumbs:
