At the center of almost every galaxy in the universe is a supermassive black hole gobbling up incredible amounts of matter, and belching out incredible amounts of radiation. The biggest and hungriest of these gobblers — called quasars (or quasi-stellar objects, because they look deceptively like stars when seen through most telescopes) — are some of the most energetic objects in the universe.
As infalling matter swirls around the quasar's maw at near-light-speed, that matter heats up and flies outward, propelled by the incredible force of its own radiation. All that intergalactic indigestion makes a quasar an awesome sight, capable of shining a thousand times brighter than a galaxy of 100 billion stars. However, a series of new papers suggests, the very same radiation that puts quasars on our maps of the universe may be devastating the galaxies that host the insatiable objects.
One outflow the team studied accelerated from nearly 43 million mph (69 million km/h) to roughly 46 million mph (74 million km/h) over a three-year period — the fastest-accelerating wind ever detected in space.
This hot, fast gas is capable of causing incredible damage to a quasar's host galaxy, the researchers found, rampaging through the galaxy's disk like a tsunami and blasting potential star-forming material deep into space.

Not to self: Don’t move to a galaxy with a quasar in it.
This is definitely worse than the China flu........What are we gonna do?????
Makes the whole corona thing seem pretty tame in comparison.

Maintain 6 light years distance between stars.
When you mix gravity, electric fields, magnetism and plasma. We are going to discover that gravity alone can’t do this.
Consuming mass quantities.
Nor wheres the queersars neithers!
I am outraged by this.
Quasars must be social justice democRATs tearing up their own neighborhoods because white dwarf stars won’t let brown dwarf stars shine as bright.

“Not to self: Don’t move to a galaxy with a quasar in it.”
You likely already live in a galaxy that has the “tsunami” rampaging through the galaxy in all directions.
But not necessarily caused by quasars, if the the universe is a plasma universe. The sun has an undulating solar current sheet just as the Milky Way galaxy has an undulating galactic current sheet. Kind of like a sine wave moving through the galaxy in all directions.

Greta says,”What the fvck are you climate deniers doing!!!!!!?” Look at what is happening to the Climate System!?”
Pass a bill outlawing quasers.
Are these manmade quasar tsunamis? Too many plastic bags in the universe? Somebody didn’t put up enough windmills?
Somebody ask Greta.
What a show back in the day
