SEED BLACK HOLES. “An SMBH is born first as a much smaller seed BH, which then grows by accreting matter and merging with other BHs. Numerous studies have been devoted to explaining how and when these seed BHs and their host galaxies form.” (SMBH = supermassive black hole; BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

THE UNIVERSE AS A LABORATORY. “Luminous (optically selected) quasars at high redshift, thus offer the most direct constraint on the evolution of the first SMBHs and serve a unique laboratory to study the earliest phases of galaxy formation and evolution as well as the properties of the early Universe.” (SMBH = supermassive black hole). https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

INTERWOVEN FUNCTIONALITY. “Teasing out the relative contributions of these various behavioral domains (including language) to prefrontal elaboration during evolution will likely be very difficult, in part because they almost surely all contributed as part of a complex adaptive system involving many aspects of human behavior.” https://lnkd.in/dvz_XvBp View in LinkedIn

THE SHEER SCALE OF THE UNIVERSE. Primordial black holes may be older even than atoms. They are atom sized. Ultramassive black holes are the largest bodies in existence. TON 618 Is the King of black holes. The light equivalent of 100 trillion stars, and is 66 billion solar masses, 11 side by side solar systems could fit inside of it.

DIVINATION 450 BC. “Monstrous omens appear four times in Herodotus: a concubine of the king of Sardis gives birth to a lion (1.84), a donkey is born with male and female genitalia (7.57), a horse gives birth to a hare (7.57) and fish come back to life whilst being cooked (9.120).” https://lnkd.in/dKzNaDGj View in LinkedIn
