NASA Describes Two Black Holes As Sumo Wrestlers...

Interesting article if you're into outer space.

It is believed that almost all young galaxies develop super-massive black holes (SMBH).  Like the process where collapsing nebula become denser in the center until forming a star, galaxies become so dense in their centers that the whole central region collapses into a superheavy "star" with masses several million times that of the Sun.  This creates a quasar, which is the galactic version of a supernova.  After all the fireworks, the remaining SMBH simply sits at the center of the galaxy, occasionally munching on errant gas or a wandering star.

When two galaxies are close enough to gravitationally attract one another, the SMBH of each galaxy will orbit each other.  The possibility that they would collide and form an even bigger SMBH is not impossible.

For the life of me I cannot understand how time can be slowed down by gravity, yet apparently that's what happens the closer you get to a black hole.

They are such mind-bogglingly mysterious things, terrifying too, but then I find space itself as frightening as it is beautiful.

William shatner said when he went up into orbit, that instead of seeing the stars he was expecting, he saw the sinister void above him, lifeless, freezing, and it made him appreciate our wonderful home Earth more than ever.

Just remember how long Ichinojo's bouts lasted.
