Last I read the age of the universe is now measured at 13.77 billion years old, so yea, that’s amazingly old.
To: Red Badger
That would make the Big Bang at least 13.7 billion years old.

I guess we’re doomed. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

that big black hole is so far back in time that it is just about to swallow up the original singularity of creation.
When this happens, everything everywhere will disappear for all time. Game over, folks!

Odd. I thought the idea was that if hydrogen concentrated then at some point the nuclear forces pushing out would balance the gravitational forces pushing in and a star would be born.
Now they're saying that the concentration of hydrogen can be a runaway process where there never is enough outward pressure from the nuclear reactions to oppose the gravitational collapse.
Just because the hydrogen starts out "cold" doesn't mean it won't heat up once it is all congregated together.
Will this be yet another "cosmological crisis"?

It sucked in 98% of the universe in a big cosmic event 900 million years ago.

“... detected by astronomers more than 13 BILLION light years from Earth...”
Man... Those astronomers are some far away. If they were closer, their information would get her quicker.

Then there is The Great Attractor which is a million times or a billion times more massive. Why? Because everything in the Universe, so far observed, including the mentioned Quasar, is moving toward it ... fast. We are doomed in a few trillion years.

Galaxy OJ 287 has a black hole with 18 billion solar masses orbited by another black hole with 150 million solar masses. Every once in a while it would flare up with one trillion times the normal brightness. One they figured out what was happening they predicted a flare up to within 15 minutes.
I wrote to one of the guys in this study. At its slowest the smaller black hole is moving at 10% the speed of light. At its quickest 25%. Needless to say when this slams into the accretion disc of the big black hole it makes for quite the impact!
