The Calculator was hiding under my Patrick Moore Astronomy book! But I am happy with my back of a beermat calculations.
Today's Black Hole News is a really interesting item:

Whatever is Hubble looking at here?
Seems it is a rogue Black Hole ejected in a triple galaxy merger, and creating stars in its wake.
It's the unstable Lagrange three body problem in action. One of the bodies can be ejected totally from the triple system.
It's a bit like those old cloud chamber detectors. Causes interstellar gas to condense in the invisible particle's wake!

Yes, that would be the diameter of such a circle one km from the Sun's surface whose energy hits the Earth if the Sun were a point source of light.
Still a miles guy ;-D
Thanks - so about 60km diameter. Quite "large" - I thought it would be smaller. But of course in relation, its really tiny.... speaks about the dimensions in play....

Since you obviously don't understand method criticism, you certainly can't do "science".
Children believe;-) Believe, for example, that the pictures of black holes on their posters in their children's rooms are real images;-)
Maybe, there is a little bit more;-)

Very lively discussion here about an interesting view: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...sics-will-never-explain-the-universe#comments

We’ve made pretty good inroads as a species characterising things that look outwardly chaotic.
Looking at the responses to the article (which I felt was lazy and anti-science btw), I come away with a feeling of dispair at just how out of touch the average person is with science. Someone blathered on about flowers etc.
There is an influencer here in the UK with 100’s of thousands of followers who appeared on a TV quizz show a few years ago. They asked ‘at what temperature does water boil’. His answer was ‘is it like . . . 1000 degree’s or something?’
I feel a certain despair that mine own "Alma Mater", London University is allowing such crackpot science as UCL (University College, London) Professor Pontzen is serving up in an unashamed blurb for his new book.
"The Universe in a Box: A New Cosmic History".
I shall not be buying such tripe!

I have to declare that the extremely non-conformist (Bedford College, London) Physics department always relied on that which can be tested by experiment. Anything less, is less than Scientific.
Here we assembled "Interocitors":
Entered doors labelled "No Admittance"!
And in a unique first for all my Scientist friends at diyaudio.com I give you a hack on seeing the whole "This Island Earth" movie for nothing:
Considered a classic of nonsense Science in the 1950's.
But entertaining nonsense, eh? No cliche left unexplored. We just knew the Aliens were going to lose.

The interocitor - a product of Metaluna's advanced thermionic valve technology!
In turns, communication device, aircraft autopilot, surveillance device and directed energy weapon.
An assembly kit sent as a test of humankind's ablity to build it - diyAudio members would have had no difficulty!

It is a universal thing on the net that there is also chaff among the wheat. Smart people discover it easily.
