  1. yep the entrance to the multi-verse
     
  2. They've disproved that blackholes holds galaxies together. Stars hold their system together, but blackholes do not hold galaxies together, that is done with dark matter.
     
  3. From what I understand most (but not all) galaxies have a massive black hole in the center.

    Scientists just photo'd the one in the middle of the Milky Way called Sagittarius A*. It's 17 times bigger than our sun (by diameter). The largest blackhole, M87 is 6.7 Billion :eek: times larger and would encompass our whole solar system.
