Now, researchers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have identified the clearest case to date of a supermassive black hole in motion. Their results are published today in The Astrophysical Journal.
"We don't expect the majority of supermassive black holes to be moving; they're usually content to just sit around," says Dominic Pesce, an astronomer at the Center for Astrophysics who led the study. "They're just so heavy that it's tough to get them going. Consider how much more difficult it is to kick a bowling ball into motion than it is to kick a soccer ball — realizing that in this case, the 'bowling ball' is several million times the mass of our Sun. That's going to require a pretty mighty kick."
Pesce and his collaborators have been working to observe this rare occurrence for the last five years by comparing the velocities of supermassive black holes and galaxies.
"We asked: Are the velocities of the black holes the same as the velocities of the galaxies they reside in?" he explains. "We expect them to have the same velocity. If they don't, that implies the black hole has been disturbed."
For their search, the team initially surveyed 10 distant galaxies and the supermassive black holes at their cores. They specifically studied black holes that contained water within their accretion disks — the spiral structures that spin inward towards the black hole.
Comment: For further insight on just why Covid-19 continues to 'surprise' scientists, and how this has lead many respected researchers to declare that it was most likely concocted in a laboratory, see:
- WHO advisor says COVID-19 likely started as leak from laboratory
- Project G-2101: Pentagon biolab discovered MERS and SARS-like coronaviruses in bats
- AIDS scientist Judy Mikovits exposes origins of coronavirus and Dr Fauci's vaccine scheme
- Coronavirus makes infected cells sprout 'sinister' tentacles to quickly travel inside the body
As noted above, this is a virus that has already infected high numbers of people, and the immune systems of the 'vast majority' can cope and ultimately develop an immunity, leading to herd immunity, so why are governments coercing citizens to suffer these experimental vaccines?
