It has long been a theory and apparently they finally have a picture of one that is 55 million light years away in the Virgo constellation.

They state in the article that it is 1000 times larger than the black hole that is at the center of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our own black hole is 4 million times more massive than our sun.

It's hard to wrap your head around stuff like that.

All I can say is that type stuff is crazy and further proof that God is more powerful and complex than we can ever realize. I hate to see where liberals try to use this stuff to "prove" God doesn't exist. They better hope they are right (they aren't).

I don't even enjoy thinking through relativistic physics topics. It freaks me out and makes my head hurt.

I just wish we could load ALL liberals on a spaceship and send them in there for a closer look.


Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.

👍


If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Some guys at work were talking about this today. It took 900,000 lines of code to be written between three people and at least one algorithm to make this happen. One man wrote 850,000 lines while the second man wrote 41,000 lines and the algorithm. The lone female on the team wrote the remaining 9,000 lines of code and its going in the history books as accomplished by a woman.

Do you have a reference for this? I wondered if something like that might have been going on and would like to research it.

Hat's off to her. That is 9000 more lines of code than I could write.

I dont quite understand this picture taking process. If it takes a million line algorithm to get a computer to spit out that picture, how do we know its real or maybe they messed up 1line and it made it look different? I wish I understood it better because it just seems like a real expensive joke to me. If I and two other people spent that much of our lives at work and that picture was the end result, I would be incredibly disappointed. Im sure this will change everything for all mankind.
