Super Massive Blackholes.
Generally, when the BH stops 'feeding', substantial portion of its
galaxy will remain. Is it possible that BH's exist which have 'eaten' their entire galaxies? If so, what might be the properties of such BH's? regards, Bill J. |

i think a major property of a BH that has 'eaten up' its entire galxy, is
that it sould be MASSIVE "Bill Jones" wrote in message om... Generally, when the BH stops 'feeding', substantial portion of its galaxy will remain. Is it possible that BH's exist which have 'eaten' their entire galaxies? If so, what might be the properties of such BH's? regards, Bill J. |

If so, what might be the properties of such BH's? regards, Bill J. Black holes, supermassive or "normal" operate only on their local environment. At interstellar distances, the gravitational pull of such an object is no different than a mass or collection of masses of normal material of the same mass. For example, at the core of our galaxy may exist a supermassive black hole with mass on the order of 1 to 5 million times the mass of the Sun. Its gravitational pull is no different on us than if there were 1 to 5 million stars, all with the mass of our Sun, located in the same spot. We are under no immediate threat of being pulled in there because of our forward momentum in our orbit around the center of the galaxy. The same is true for the rest of the galaxy. So, the probability is quite low that a supermassive black hole would have had the time to both form and gobble up its host galaxy in the lifetime estimates of our universe. |
