Do you think that there are enormous black holes in the middle of the galaxies?

I heard that there is some research going on to support a new theory of a formation of a galaxy. They say that it is possible that some galaxies form when the center of a giant cloug of gas collapses creating a black hole that then feeds on the gas around it and grows. They say that it is even possible that there is a massive black hole in the middle of our galaxy, about 10 times the size of sun and about 40 000 times more dense. What do you think?

And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"

They have observed stars near the galactic nucleus where they think there is a supermassive black hole and the stars are flying around a dense, invisible mass at extreme speed. They reckon the only explanation is a supermassive black hole. I don't see any reason to doubt them.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
