science fiction writers out of a job!

a small galaxy 1 quarter the size of ours with a black hole 4000 times larger than our milky way galaxy's black hole

I just posted that on my Facebook page! Great minds eh?

I don't know what the mystery is, it's just a greedy black hole and probably one of the oldest, the galaxy is tiny because the black hole has gobbled up all the stars

it takes a genius to know a genius - hello fellow genius

it's obvious that black holes don't know about dieting
