Re: "If you change the mass of the black hole, you change how the black hole relates to the galaxy."
Ya think? ... Ya mean a ten inch drain will suck out pool water faster than a four inch drain?
If you increase the mass inside a black hole, the 'event horizon' (the distance from the BH center in which objects must exceed the speed of light in order to escape the BH's gravitational field) grows to a larger diameter. The 'singularity' at the BH's center, being an infinitely small region of infinitely concentrated mass, stays the same size, at least as I understand it.

I can see M87 moving closer even as we speak. 6.4 billion time the sun was just not enough...

In other words, I think you’re right.

Oh, I thought that they were talking about Obammy or his lovely, warm and friendly wife, Michelle, The Belle from Hell.
Or maybe Obammy’s budget and big “stimulus” plan. Isn’t that a big black hole?
Wait, according to John Wiley Price, an absolutely brilliant councilman from Dallas, a “black hole” is racist! And he ought to know.

Next time I’ll make a crack about increasing the slope of a ramp and losing traction faster.

Next time I’ll make a crack about increasing the slope of a ramp and losing traction faster. Sounds like you're now describing Obama's Marxist economic 'Change' agenda. He says he wants to 'accelerate' it!

Who is always "seeing things" in photos?
I see a girl on her knees praying (upper left) and her prayers going into the light which then sends light down to the man-looking creature which is being destroyed.
