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 DESCENDING LARYNX. “A key factor in human speech production is our unusual vocal tract: we have a descended larynx, hyoid and tongue root which enable us to produce a greater diversity of formant frequencies patterns, and thus of speech sounds, than would be possible otherwise.” https://lnkd.in/dTkGwcGB 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

PLANCK DENSITY. “It is assumed that the "Planck" density of about 10(94) g/sm3, the substance of stars such changes occur, which should stop the compression of the stars to prevent endless drop to the point of singularity.” https://lnkd.in/dCUPXXmn View in LinkedIn

LARGE FAST WINDS. “High velocity (10(2)–10(3) km s−1) energy-driven winds on large scales have been recently also studied by Bieri et al. by means of radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of isolated galactic discs. They suggest that outflow rates as high as ~10(3) M⊙ yr−1 are sustained by IR radiation, with scattering on dust grains enabling efficient momentum transfer to the gas.” (IR = infrared). https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

GAGGED KNOWLEDGE. “We know more than we can say: We know more than we can tell and we can tell nothing without relying on our awareness of things we may not be able to tell. “ Polanyi (1958) the Social Phenomenologist. https://lnkd.in/dCz2CcNZ View in LinkedIn

BREEDING GROUND. “Recent ALMA observations presented by Trakhtenbrot et al. have revealed a large number, ~50%, of massive star-forming galaxies interacting with quasar hosts (within

BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “The acquired kick velocity can be as large as ~ 100 kms(−1), enough to eject the coalesced binary out of the host galaxy.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn
