Default Brightest-ever 'blazar' flare from distant galaxy spotted by NASA'sFermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope

We're living in wonderful times. So many telescopes available, both on
land and in space, looking all over the spectrum. New things happening
all of the time.

Most of the time, the brightest persistent source in the gamma-ray sky is the Vela pulsar, which at a distance of about 1,000 light-years lies practically next door.

"3C 454.3 is millions of times farther away, yet the current flare makes it twice as bright as Vela," said Lise Escande at the Center for Nuclear Studies in Gradignan, near Bordeaux, France. "That represents an incredible energy release, and one the source can't sustain for very long."

It is showing a picture of a jet. Not only black holes, but neutron
stars which are close to black hole compression
too sometimes release faint jets from their poles. Black holes release
powerful jets. What is happening I believe is that at the poles in
fast spinning stars vortexes form, where the colder surface pours
inward the center of the star,
where from the opening at the pole it releases heat spiraling
(jetting) up. Its been shown that shape of magnetic fields around jets
do not correspond to black hole models and its been suggested to send
black hole theories back to the drawing boards.

So it seems to me it is more likely that fast spinning objects build
vortexes at the poles. Now what was not accounted is the amount of
heat inside stars that compact into black holes. This heat escapes
with energy larger then the limiting conditions imposed by black
holes, the heat is simply that powerful, so powerful that jets reach
many galaxy diameters in length.

Might have been a black hole doing a Supernova explosion with mass
of 200 Suns. It continues burning toward higher particles in black
holes,
but black holes spin up quicker to state release than less massive
not black hole objects?

What is state release relating to spin?

Das does it! Supernova.

Here's a totally crackpot theory. It all revolves around that most bizarre
of isotopes, tantalum-180m, the only naturally occurring excited state.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_tantalum

In a distant galaxy, some brilliant scientist has got the notion of amassing
all the tantalum-180m it can get.its tentacles on, with a view to gathering
a critical mass of the isotope to make a one-shot gamma ray laser. The
laser works - it fires off its one shot of gamma rays. Pity there's no
other entity around any more to congratulate it - all life-forms on this
particular planet have been instantly fried.

Keeps happening, all over the universe. Somebody, somewhere on Earth, will
think of it sooner or later and build one, and it will go off, sterilising
the earth and generating yet another gamma ray burst for the intelligent
entities in another distant galaxy to detect, log and ponder.
