Black Hole Bubble
The nature of black holes has long baffled astronomers. Now, a new discovery from a nearby black hole is adding to the mystique of these strange, powerful phenomena that dot the cosmos. A black hole, 12 million light-years from Earth is emanating particles with tremendous velocity into nearby interstellar gas, creating a massive bubble. The discovery is helping astronomers learn more about the evolution of black holes and how they effect their surrounding space.

baffled astronomers/medival, cult-like thinking
The theory concerning "black holes" unequivocally states that NOTHING --by definition-- (not even light) can escape their gravitational field. Yet apparently, there must be an unwritten caveat concerning enormous quantities of gas. (say what??)
This is the sort of absurdity that eventually surfaces to indicate that some theory is fundamentally flawed. So in order to counteract the destructive effects of such thinking, and thereby avoiding the potential pitfalls of brain damage, I strongly suggest that the rising field of Plasma Cosmology, which depicts an electrically-driven Universe, offers a far more sensible and comprehensive alternative to the sterile, gravity-only world of mainstream astronomers: to wit, that various exotic objects, such as "black holes," are an academic fiction, and --as in the case of the article in question-- only vast, "dark" electrical currents have the power to accelerate the observed masses of high-speed, ionized gas and particles observed flowing throughout the Universe.
kick ass comment & links!
So effin' awesome! Thanks so much for posting.
I have been following cosmological stuff casually for some time & this has got to be the best idea I've seen. Turns the whole study of the material plane upside down! Next time some dick weed blabs about, "Occam's razor" all the while praying at the alter of big-bang cosmology I can pull out this ultimate Ginsu knife of scientific theorizing to really cut to the quick of the matter..as it were...rf
