Even gluttons can't eat forever. When black holes at the hearts of galaxies swell to 50 billion times the mass of our sun, they may lose the discs of gas they use as cosmic feedlots.
Most galaxies host a supermassive black hole at their centre. Around this is a region of space where gas settles into an orbiting disc. The gas can lose energy and fall inwards, feeding the black hole. But these discs are known to be unstable and prone to crumbling into stars.
Theoretically, a black hole could grow so big that it swallows up the stable part of the disc and destroys it. However, most people thought that black holes would not actually achieve that. "It didn't occur to us to worry about it, because the mass required was so large," says Andrew King of the University of Leicester, UK.
But there were observational hints that such a limit should exist. In 2008, an independent group led by Priya Natarajan of Yale University and Ezequiel Treister of the University of Concepcion in Chile considered how much black holes feasted in the early universe and the free gas available for them to swallow in recent times.
Given how much black holes have eaten since the dawn of the universe, they argued, the greediest ones could have grown to a size of about 50 billion solar masses.

So the spiral galaxies seem to be feeding their black hole faster than even the huge elliptical galaxies.
Nonsense.
black hole don’t exist.

once you realize black holes don’t exist. You realize what a con game ALL ESTABLISHMENT SCIENCE have become
Boy, and here I thought the science was settled! /s
Black Holes Matter!
Agreed. There are no limits upon what God can do.
The laws of physics are nothing more than the feeble attempt of the arrogant efforts of self-proclaimed “experts” attempting to limit the power, wisdom, glory and magnificence of God. Pay no attention to them. Rather, cling to your faith, Bible and guns.
“black hole don’t exist.”
This character is using a boatload of illogical and irrational strawman arguments based upon his false assumptions about the equations. In other words, he doesn’t know what he is talking about, so his conclusions are nonsensical.
Did you forget your sarcasm tag?
You painted with too broad a brush in this instance.
In many cases, the laws of physics are man's attempts, feeble though they may be, to understand God's creation.
For example, do you think Isaac Newton was an arrogant self proclaimed expert who feebly attempted to limit God?
However, I agree that some self proclaimed experts in the field of physics attempt to limit God in various ways, or they deny God's existence outright.
You think mathematics is a con too?
its probably good that black holes have a size limit
(now i only wish I did....)
Mathematics is not science, it is mathematics. Mathematics is often misused by scientists.
Interesting to discuss after all else is discussed. I just hope none of my tax dollars were used to create this new “fact.” Who would care?
Can you cite an example?
Really now. All of it?
Do you believe in Niburu and that the Apollo missions were faked? I'm intrigued, because the people who spout the sort of bullshit in the video you linked to are believers in all sorts of crap.
Of what?
