I warned you, but you’re going to click on this link anyway, [1] because you’re too damned curious. Here’s an excerpt from this NewScientist article:
The most massive known black hole in the universe has been discovered, weighing in with the mass of 18 billion Suns. Observing the orbit of a smaller black hole around this monster has allowed astronomers to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity with stronger gravitational fields than ever before.
Did you get that? This black hole has the mass of 18 BILLION Suns. That makes you a tiny essentially weightless speck of dust, a photon, by comparison.
Consider Dan Klarman’s claim that the universe is simply not specified to a human scale. [2] And consider these graphic size comparisons [3] of the Earth, the sun and other celestial bodies.
