“Almost all galaxies hide super massive black holes”

So that’s why the neighbors put up that tall fence. I suppose it will affect my property value.

Because you did not observe the black hole in the center of the Milky Way growing in mass at a rate of 0.001 solar masses per year!

“Over the life time of the universe”

Say what? Life time? The universe has a life time? Where are we at? Is it like shedding baby teeth or is it yelling at the kids to get off the lawn?

“What happens when a black hole meets quantum foam”

I don’t know. They exchange business cards?

I guess the universe didn't know how to pour a smooth beer by avoiding the vacuum.

“Where the universe is being torn apart”

The universe is being torn apart? It’s bad enough that it has a life time, but now it’s being torn apart? Oh, it’s gonna take a quart of tequila to fall asleep tonight.

Wait a minute. A blended Margarita has foam! Maybe the galaxy is like a margarita. A little sweet.....a little tangy......a little salty......So that means the planets are like tortilla chips and the stars are salsa? Why, it’s a fiesta!

Where are we at?

13.7 billion years young. Very young. See The five ages of the universe, according to Adams, et al.

Not only will the universe be torn apart, but all matter in it, right down to protons, neutrons, quarks, etc. But it’s only a theory (a very likely looking one at this point!).

“Quantum fluctuations in the form of mini black holes can couple to macroscopic black holes and allow the latter to grow exponentially,”

If I only had a dollar for every time I've said that.

Well, I will say one thing.... If a black hole is destined to eat us, there’s not one damn thing we could ever do about it.

You want me to read? Did my Mom put you up to this? And why do they always have to put down what a glutton the guy is? “et al”? Why not? He probably paid for all the food.

Well, I want to meet the black hole that can tear apart a bag of that Costco Trail Mix. I’ve pulled on those and tried to chew a little tear.....nothing. Oh, the stars may all fall away, but there will still be those little bags of Costco Trail Mix still floating around. The ones with the teeth marks will be mine.

...quantum black holes that leap in and out of existence at the smallest scale

And all this time I thought it was the dryer eating my socks.
