The biggest things in the universe just got bigger – or rather, they’ve always been bigger and we somehow missed it up to now. Supercomputer simulations of galactic core black holes indicate that instead of being a mere two billion times the mass of the sun, so insignificant you’d surely lose them if you sneezed, some could be as large as six billion suns -not including the “dark halo” that surrounds the Milky Way, which is more than ten times as much mass as all of the visible stars, gas, and dust in the rest of the galaxy.
Massive “Dark Halo” Discovered Beyond Edge of the Milky Way

Hm, I never saw something else up there than enormous black dark masses .. but hey …
What’s that round white thing up there btw? This morning I saw it for a few seconds with a new pattern on it .. as if the top was no longer attached to the rest .. as if an enormous krater or such had been made up there but then with the shape of a vertical wide line … Pretty weird …Especially if you observe yourself observing that ..
It’s good that all that is up there .. where would be without that. Energy flows quite nice back and forth .. left to right and vice versa .. Our black holes on the inside .. and up there .. well .. black universe I’d say .. with lots of synaptical outbursts ..
Space travelling on planet earth .. Where are we? Is planet earth maybe not what they frist thought either ?
Me and my spaceship .
How could they miss a giant purple thing like that?
Time to move to another galaxy.
I believe it was taken by a probe in a lightwave length that the human eye can’t detect. As for other luncy it just confirms what physics has theorised for a long time.
‘Supercomputer simulations’?
‘Including something you can’t see might sound like a great way to get any answer you like…’ continues the article defending the additional data computed by adding an unobservable factor into the equation.
Yup, it does.
Garbage in, Hawking radiation out?
Fascinating stuff. I just struggle to get over how tiny we are compared to the rest of the universe.

i used to like choco – when i was a kid, growing up – not anymore though. oh well, will have to get pack on my pogo stick i guess – aint life a shame sometimes
Interesting.
Not as interesting as the first post, which is so incomprehensible that it’s seized my mind, much like the Langford Fractal Basilisk. Each time I read Nopke’s post it makes less sense, and soon my brain will simply explode.
incredible, amazing, and wow ! certainly is interesting , i wonder of its application.
bye
theres always a dark halo around my milky way….its called my big gob
interestingly mind boggling stuff

that should be “mind bogglingly interesting stuff”. im tired! na-night x
i guess that’s pretty big.
