    SMBH

    Super Massive Black Holes

    Supposedly one exists at the center of our galaxy. It has the mass of millions of stars eaten.
    How big would it be.. ? [Radius of event horizon]

    The gravity curve reaches how far 'as in deflecting orbiting stars inwards'

    Are IC803 or NGC7609, arp 151 or messier 87 the potent of what happens when the SMBH takes command of the galactic structure.

    What is more important is .Do all galaxies end up as holes

    so far that has been the case :sunny:

    after the black hole eats us all will it matter?

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole, supermassive black holes of 10^5–10^9 stellar masses would have radii between 0.001 – 10 AU. I don't know if the relationship is linear, but, to the nearest order of magnitude, that means that the SMBH at the centre of our galaxy would have an event horizon radius of about 0.01 AU.

    I don't know the answer to any of those questions BUT did you know that if you could erect a corridor around a black hole in a ring shape, you could stand in it and see the back of yourself looking down the corridor?

    Life is full of 'what if'. I f could create a universe.
    I 'd start with same parameters as ours.

    It leads to Beethoven and Mary Shelly, Gaugan and Twain. Socrates and Nietzche
