Massive black hole stumps researchers

[dArKeR]

A team of astronomers have found a colossal black hole so ancient, they're not sure how it had enough time to grow to its current size, about 10 billion times the mass of the sun.

Sitting at the heart of a distant galaxy, the black hole appears to be about 12.7 billion years old, which means it formed just one billion years after the universe began and is one of the oldest supermassive black holes ever known.

The black hole, researchers said, is big enough to hold 1,000 of our own Solar Systems and weighs about as much as all the stars in the Milky Way.

1. Wow, I was reading earlier that a black hole of this description...

...will be connected with events leading to the end of the ancient Mayan Calendar on the date of December 21, 2012. Apparently some kind of supernova causing a cosmic event. This is exciting!

matured past the Instinctive Level, reached planetary sustainability, and addressed the dangers of Global Warming, and Astroid detection/deflection.

If not, we humans will have failed the weed/seed test. We will by Offed by Galatic Weed B Gone

5. Genetically engineered...

Fortunately, Monsanto has developed Roundup-Ready humans.
