And that prevents one from making thoughts about it? Even more stupid.
The past is the key to the future, it is not impossible to speculate what might be going on right this moment.

Am I too late to see it on Google Earth?
When cool things in space happen and I am given coords I check it out to see it for myself. :v:[/QUOTE]
You don't seriously think google earth star maps are realtime? :confused:
Space is so fucking awesome.
I want to see someone make a porn with that title.
[QUOTE=Dj-J3;24260113]You don't seriously think google earth star maps are realtime? :confused:[/QUOTE]
That would be amazing :3:
Space is quite amazing. I don't even understand how this is possible.
Is the article referring to a quasar, or some other astronomical event I haven't heard of yet.
This happened 50 million years ago.
Calling it a supervolcano sounds awesome, but is as wrong as it can possibly get.
[QUOTE=Odellus;24262541]This happened 50 million years ago.[/QUOTE]
Which is exactly why this is so fascinating, we rarely see a quasar that happened less then a billion years ago.
These things are powerful, a single quasar can give off an energy output up to a thousand times greater then the [I]entire Milky Way.[/I]
The black whole isn't 'erupting' as such; no matter is actually escaping from beneath the black holes event horizon. This effect is caused by the black holes rotation, which causes it to have a magnetic north and south pole. As matter falls into the black hole it tends to accumulate at the poles similar to the aurora at the earth's north and south polls. But the physics are slightly different around a black hole due to it sheer mass and spin rate. These streams of particles become super energetic and shoot out from the poles before they get beyond the event horizon. It is these super energetic jets which are referred to in the OP as a eruption.
[QUOTE=Block;24259974]
And lastly, your "theory" is bullshit. A black hole already has the mass of a star in a tiny tiny space. Why would it suddenly decide "oh I can't take any more!" ?[/QUOTE]
That Theory would mean Black Holes have a Finite Capacity. Like a box. Think :v:
Something tells me that nothing could live in an active galaxy like that.
[QUOTE=ThePuska;24260074]But it does mean that. If there's no information, no interaction or anything, it might as well not exist.[/QUOTE]
You don't exist since you are far away from me and I can't know what you are doing at this instant.
:downs:
I just had a thought which I hope maybe one of the physics students out there can clarify for me.
As nothing can escape a black hole (I'm not really counting hawking radiation as escaping as it is created at the event horizon boundary), then I assume that any and all probability wave-functions within the black hole are also restricted to point towards the centre of mass of the black hole. Would this mean that all the mass in the centre of a black hole would be in a quantum superposition of being in multiple states at the same time, seeing as the wave-functions of all particles within the black hole cannot have a chance to experience decoherece by interacting with the wave-functions of particles outside a black hole?
Black holes are fascinating.
"Galactic supervolcano erupts in black hole"
sounds sexual. But still sounds cool.

Look up the black hole information paradox.

Or, you know, click this link. :v:
Flights delayed to that part of space because of ash :( oh wait, i think the 50 million light year wait to get there is probably the biggest concern of a delayed flight..
jesus fuck, I just thought of something, if you saw an explosion in space 100 lightyears away and traveled towards it at 1 lightyear a minute (hypothetically, yeah I know) would it explode in fast-forward? And if you saw an explosion at 50 lightyears away and traveled directly away from it at 1 lightyear a minute would it go in reverse? :psyduck:
[sp]I know you can't go that fast[/sp]
Could this happen within our own galaxy? If so, would it wipe out all lifeforms in its path?
[QUOTE=farmatyr;24277213]Could this happen within our own galaxy? If so, would it wipe out all lifeforms?[/QUOTE]
Can't happen, but if it did. Every world in the Galaxy would be sterilized.

Where are you, ZING! rating?
[QUOTE=Upgrade123;24277717]Where are you, ZING! rating?[/QUOTE]
FP Labs
also your avatar makes me burst out laughing every time I see it
[QUOTE=ladiida;24258979]So did the black hole eject the stuff it's been sucking in for centuries? I thought nothing could escape a black hole?[/QUOTE]
Hawking radiation could, -theoretically-, destabilize the Black Hole. If that happens, well, I guess ejecting absorbed/phased matter wouldn't be out of the possibility bag.
rated optimistic because it is very good to see volcanoes erupting in space.
also galactic supervolcano erupting in a black hole seems just a [i]bit[/i] exaggerated.

I laughed hard, it says right on there that the picture was taken in 2007
Google Earth needs to be Live Feed. :saddowns:
say a super black hole with about the mass of a galaxy ran into its twin travelling at an angle and rotating counter to the first. would that destabilize a black holes gravity long enough to get a black string?
for bonus points add in a line of black holes of equal mass moving like gears, each counter to the ones next to it
