Was watching "How The Universe Works". Just learned that there are such bodies called "Ultra Massive Black Holes".......  So I googled the list of the biggest black holes we have found so far.

TON 618 has the solar mass of............ HOLY FUCKING SHIT...... <---- DID I MENTION HOLY FUCKING SHIT?

TON 618 has the solar mass of 66 BILLION SOLAR MASSES! <----- No I did not stutter.

^^^^^^ Things like this make me really frustrated with  old mythology. How can anyone read these facts and claim our species is important in the universe.

That is amazing to me. It really drives home that we are not even a speck of temporary dust in all this.

When people say "They lived a long life".... I increasingly think and want to respond, "Compared to what?"

When people say "They are 6 feet tall" again, I want to respond, "That's tall for a human sure".

But even on a smaller scale when you compare our sun to say a RED GIANT, most humans don't know, or ignore the fact that the surface of a red giant if you were to pluck our sun out, and replace it with a red giant, the surface of the red giant would extend beyond the orbit of Saturn. Which means, on a cosmic scale, our own sun is a pip squeak. 

But even the black hole named "Sagittarius A Star" at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is NOT even close to being the biggest scientists have found.

Don't worry, Brian. Blackholes might not exist.

I know right!

You can start at a local scale, and think about how many earths can fit in the red eye hurricane on Jupiter and think, "SHIT WE ARE NOTHING". Then you can compare our small sun to a red giant, and then HOLY FUCKING SHIT, things like in this picture.

The really freaky thing is, even with all the material in the universe it is STILL mostly empty.

How? Responding to you saying black holes don't exist? 

If it was sarcasm, I am sure it was your reaction to me pointing out theists cling to old mythology and you not liking me pointing that out.

At work.

Actually Brian37. I king of think Yonadav is referencing GC (GodChosen) and their comment of skepticism towards said cosmic events.

Hence the kudos to both of you.

Cheers.

Yon still calls himself Jewish, and sure, it is possible to like the traditions but scrap the superstition. My point is it is still a religion. 

I've had a few Jews over the years argue that they are "secular" but still argue that their club was the seat of modern knowledge. Problem is if you spend time debating  all the world's major religions, they all claim to be the starting point of our modern knowledge.

I didn't say that black holes don't exist.
