Ultra Massive Black Holes......

Ultra Massive Black Holes......
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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TON_618

^^^^^^ 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.
