The black hole occupies a volume of space about the same size as our solar system but it affects a volume of space about 600 times the size of the whole Milky Way galaxy.

That is unbelievable. Every time i try to think about that my brain oozes out of my ears. Which is why i can't see Moooore's picture. No seriously....the size of our solar system. And when you think a black hole is super compact (no air bubbles in that mess) so if you took all that matter and uncompressed it...dang

Sounds like the Total Perspective Vortex, ala Douglas Adams.

Sometimes I think that the big bang was a result of the last black hole in the universe swallowing the very last bit of matter and energy in the universe then burping.

You just had to put that picture in my head.

Thanks.

Watch for future news bit: Evil Conservative, addicted to the VRWC banner website FREE REPUBLIC, has head explode within hours of reading very disturbing article from that source.

Government considering ban of website due to lethal articles.
