This is the galaxy NGC 1277. It contains a black hole that is 17 BILLION times more massive than our sun. Just sayin.

Me is frightened. Serius l33, there are many holes, the mind hasn't seen yet.

black holes are necessary plus most black hles close to us are dormant from being stuffed

if space is manily black and the hole is black and its a very lone way away how do you know its there?
also did I not see somthing saying that all galaxys have black holes in there centres.

yes, there are black holes at the center of all the galaxies we've seen.
We know they are there because we have telescopes that can see the entire electro-magnetic spectrum, not just visible light. Black holes show up particularly well with x-ray telescopes.
Little Richard seems like source material because of its age, but is itself quite derivative of music that came before. I say this with no attempt to diminish Little Richard's talent or musical value.
Neither Time, nor Space, by their nature can be infinity. Time is man's attempt to calibrate the perceived phenomenon of duration. Space is the negative that makes the positive of matter possible; space cannot exist without matter, and therefor cannot be infinite. Humans are indeed not insects.

Ivar Ragnarsson (Old Norse: Īvarr; died possibly 873[1]) nicknamed the Boneless (inn beinlausi), was a Viking leader and by reputation also a berserker. He was a son of the powerful Ragnar Lodbrok.[2] He was a ruler of an area probably comprising parts of modern-day Denmark and Sweden.

Plain and simple ...Logical thought with simple minds, requires energy to pro-cede evaluated preceding motivation.

I spent the last few days contemplating how to derive the exact age of the universe from the speed of light. The main problem is the large numbers. Currently, I'm stuck at the size of space time, which I figured is about 9,5 lightyears * pi squared. All I want is a date to my new holiday!

Using c as a timestamp and converting it on-line got me Mon 02 Jul 1979 08:40:58 PM (the converter counts from 1970). So, from today on I will celebrate The Birthday Of The Universe every 9 years on the second of July.

You forgot to compensate for the gravitational effect of the inter-galactic sub-particle mass, which can change Planck's constant. If you figure that in and then perform a partial integration with respect to c I believe it comes to 9 yrs, 3 days, and 5 hrs -- give or take a few minutes.
