But we still don't know what a black hole is, correct? I mean how they get created, wt happens inside a black hole etc? I remember reading something like, 'we can't explain or understand any thing about blackholes are our physical laws will not work there' If god doesn't like the way I live, let him tell me, not you | ||

Stig, Great article- awe-inspiring and nice pictures too - keep them coming  Watched the Attenborough/Dawkins video with my son last night - never knew the process of metamorphosis worked that way of decomposition and re-formulation - Thanks again for that video aa chal ke tujhe main leke chalu ik aise gagan ke tale jahan gam bhi na ho, aansoo bhi na ho,bas pyaar hi pyaar pale | ||

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/11/black-holes-make-g alaxies/ // Astronomers have spied a distant black hole in the act of creating the galaxy that will eventually become its home. By sending a jet of gas and highly energetic particles into a neighboring galaxy, the black hole has touched off star formation at a rate 100 times the galactic average. âOur study suggests that supermassive black holes can trigger the formation of stars, thus âbuildingâ their own host galaxies,â David Elbaz, lead author of a paper on the work in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, said in a press release. âThis link could also explain why galaxies hosting larger black holes have more stars.â phot-46b-09-fullresThe quasar HE0450-2958, located about 5 billion light-years from Earth, is powered by a supermassive black hole. Unlike all other known quasars, this one did not appear to be surrounded by a galaxy, which had puzzled astronomers. They thought perhaps the quasarâs surrounding galaxy was obscured by dust. So, in the latest observations they looked in the mid-infrared part of the spectrum, in which dust shines brightly, using the European Southern Observatoryâs Very Large Telescope. But they didnât see dust, confirming the idea that the quasar really is ânaked.â Instead of a surrounding galaxy, Elbazâs team found the black hole was blasting its neighbor with energy and matter. That injection has caused the observed flurry of star births: 350 new suns are bursting into existence each year in the region. Eventually, the black hole will merge with its neighbor. The two objects are located 22,000 light-years apart and are moving towards each other at less than 125 miles per second. In tens of millions of years, HE0450-2958 will finally get a home. âThis would provide a natural explanation for the missing host galaxy,â Elbaz and his co-authors wrote.
