Astronomers say they have have discovered a black hole so big that it challenges the theory about how they grow.
We are told that this new amazing discovery comes from a supermassive black hole that formed sometime around 900 million years after the big bang.
While it may seem a strange concept for some to consider, this black hole is not working the way it should. It’s too big ..
NBC NEWS reports,
But with measurements indicating it is 12 billion times the size of the sun, the black hole challenges a widely accepted hypothesis of growth rates. “Based on previous research, this is the largest black hole found for that period of time,” Fuyan Bian, Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Australian National University (ANU), told Reuters on Wednesday. “Current theory is for a limit to how fast a black hole can grow, but this black hole is too large for that theory.” The discovery was described in a study published Wednesday in Nature.
Is this a black hole so massive that it could actually pre-date the currently accepted time frame of the beginning of everything?
Does this throw everything ever taught out the window?
Does anyone else even somewhat comprehend any of what this could mean?
Space is amazing. Science is too.
But when it comes to the perplexing concept of black holes, I have trouble understanding. Glad I’m not paid to try..
