    Black holes do a damn good job of swallowing everything. Then, why don't they just keep on expanding and expanding and simply swallow the Universe? A bit of a mind boggling question, isn't it?

    Sometime ago the well known Stanford Physicist Leonard Susskind, who is one of the fathers of the "String Theory" provided an explanation.
    He suggests that black holes expand by increasing in complexity inwardly – a feature we just don't see connected while watching from afar. In other words, they expand in, not out.

    Weirder still, this hypothesis might have a parallel in the expansion of our own Universe, which also seems to be growing in a counterintuitive way.
    Black holes aren't like ordinary space, so we can't expect ordinary rules to apply.

    Details can be found on his "Three Lectures on Complexity and Black Holes" on the internet and also a printed book with the same name. Not for the average people though.
    look up Hawking Radiation. it explains why Black holes doesnt expand exponentially.

    sometimes I wonder, Are they just assuming shit they know north about..


    I think this brilliant individual has a PHD in mathematics, if I am correct.

    thats how it works. They make some assumption and then they look for evidence to support it. I wonder if our mind can work the other way too.

    1500 light years = 1500 years in speed of light to arrive close to our solar system
    i think its the current speed of space will take 20000 years
