CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists have found the biggest black holes known to exist — each one 10 billion times the size of our sun.
A team led by an astronomer at the University of California at Berkeley discovered the two gigantic black holes in clusters of galaxies 300 million light years away. That's relatively close on the galactic scale.

You can’t deny the math till the math changes.
Because space and time are strongly distorted near a black hole, such relationships do not necessarily hold there. For example, a black hole doesn't have a diameter of which you can measure the length with something like a ruler, because if you pass through the horizon to start using your ruler, then you can never get out again.
When scientists talk about the diameter of a black hole, then they mean the diameter that an ordinary object has (that is not a black hole) with the same circumference or surface area as the horizon of the black hole.

I forgot about the hallmark card. Above is the Dallas City Council member John Wiley Price getting offended. He is the definition of Stupid.
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”
We are swirling around it in a decreasing radius. In laymen’s terms, we are being flushed!!
I think they mean mass which means these are about 10X larger then the one in the middle of our galaxy
Those are big suckers!
Laughing at “Comment removed by moderator”. LOL!
Perhaps you'd then like to explain the monstrous need for the inclusion of infinite values in the Einsteinian Relativistic calculations of the powers of the singularities enclosing those black holes you so favor? Or can your checkbook buy your way out of the black hole information paradox?
Or perhaps you'd like to be more scientific, and share the uncertainties of distinguished cosmologists like Halton Arp, Fred Hoyle, and Tom VanFlandern about the very idea of such fanciful entities.
As for your assumption that the behavior of objects around these hypothetical creatures is caused solely by gravity, why not alternatively consider the possibility that things are more strongly propelled by plasmas and magnetohydrodynamic forces? The work of Nobel Prize winner Hannes Alfven clearly suggested that might be the case.
Today's scientists are by and large pygmies. They like to pose as though they stand on the shoulders of giants. In point of fact, their idols’ feet of clay are now breaking down under the weight of too many inexplicable observations and the accumulation of one untenable theory on top of another.
Ptolemy redevivus.
It appears from other sources that they are referring to mass. The event horizon for a non-rotating black hole is about 3 km for each solar mass, so these bad boys would have an event horizon of more than 20 astronomical units, or about out to the orbit of Saturn if placed in the same position as our sun. < shudder>
Scratch that. Make it beyond the orbit of Uranus. (Saturn is only about 9.4 AU, Uranus about 18+) More shuddering.
John Wiley Price is not a city councilman. He is a County Commissioner (different political body). But.... he is still a rabble rouser.
So, are cosmologists still looking for missing mass that would lead to the universe collapsing in on itself or will they concede that black holes contain the missing mass?
It's been this layman's observation that the application of scientific magic dust has become the the rule rather than the exception since higher(and lower) education was co-opted by the state for their own nefarious purposes. What's more, the American taxpayers' pockets were so deep that our government, in public/public partnership with our domestic Scientific Community™ are and were able to co-opt most of the world's Scientific Community™. Spreading the wealth never felt so good...
100 BILLION galaxies, each containing hundreds of BILLIONS of stars...Does anybody know what percentage of this number in our universe has actually been observed and or studied in depth???
My guess is less than .0000000001%.
Which begs the obvious logical question. The more the universe is observed, the more scientists discover things that are “bigger or different than expected or theorized”. How can the dark matter theory be taken seriously any more given that it may take decades or even centuries of observation and data collection just to scratch the surface of an adequate comprehension and understanding of what the universe contains?
If they are talking about diameter, rather than volume or mass, then they would be 10B times the sun’s diameter which is about 870,000 miles across, which is about 109 times the diameter of the earth.
In another astronomical finding, here is information on the discovery of a planet, Kepler 22b, in the “life zone” of liquid water about 600 light years away.
And Huffpo still sucks.
