What would it be like to fall into it though?
Before or after the reaching the event horizon?

It';s the early access sequel to the old simulation, fun for fucking around with shit like this
Here's the earth next to our sun

now pulled back to show the sun in full

Now the sun compared to the black hole in question at the edge of the event horizon (I had to turn on the trails in the ui so it could be distinguished from the lensing effect.)

and finally in comparison to the black hole with the singularity in frame
It's a great little time suck
My mind......my mind can't process that size.
Why are scientists obsessed with big black holes?

Considering that I can barely attempt to begin to fathom the magnitude of the gargantuan explosion of light and heat and life in equilibrium that is our sun, Sol, and find my understanding of the magnitude of a billion to be seriously lacking, the idea that something out there is twelve billion times the enormity of our local neighborhood secular godhead is just...
... hnnngggggkkkk*pop*swoooOOOSHHH
That's fucking crazy man. I have no words beyond this period(.)In perspective
more people should play around with Universe Sandbox 2
This is just amazing, but the eridanus supervoid is unimaginably massive to comprehend.
You can get a scale of it with this great tool

Black holes scare the hell out of me.
It's not like it matters. Time passing slowly isn't like Max Payne. It feels normal because your thoughts are slow too.You might not enjoy the whole "Time slowing down" thing though...
maybe but probably not? So if the article is accurate and this is larger then previously accounted for, it does raise questions about the current "control" on black holes, which is that as they increase in size they begin to shed radiation, causing them to shrink again. That model says that there's a maximum cap on how large a black hole is, although the final state of the universe might certainly look like a collection of black holes
My mind......my mind can't process that size.
I'm pretty ignorant on modern astronomer methods. How do they determine how far away something is? And how can they determine how large something is? When it was formed, etc?
I don't know what scanners is. And no, I haven't! And I wish I never did!
A safe distance would be too way to far for you see it.
Before or after the reaching the event horizon?
I imagine that by size, they mean the area or the accretion disk, and not the hole itself.The study states that the mass of this black hole is 1.2 billion times that of the sun .. Black holes are extremely dense so it probably doesn't equal out to 1.2B diameters of the sun.
Kind of makes our every day lives seem very small and irrelevant. You know what, I'm not going to get dressed for the electrician coming round in an hour. What difference does it make, I mean really?
Go through the black hole, leak out the other side, and see an alternate history where you married the electrician.
Wouldnt he emerge on the other side as a collection of atoms?
The easiest way to conceptualize it as a "hole" is to imagine how space is warped by the immense gravity. Once you are beyond the event horizon (if you were able to survive somehow), turning around and looking "out" of the black hole would still look towards the black hole, because there is no direction for even light to escape. Space has been warped so completely that every single direction points towards the black hole: up, down, left, right, backwards, forwards. These directions no longer have meaning as we think of them. Every direction is towards the black hole.

We are all a collection of atoms.
Pardon my ignorance but aren't black holes usually really small?
