God is Your Cowardly Ignorance.

Matt Shea.

OBVIOUSLY, another wacko nutjob INSTALLED *not* for competent qualification.

That's local news, covered right now on local tv broadcast channel KREM 2 CBS News Spokane, opinions my own. I know that some person at KREM 2 is reading my posts, or I'm being spoofed by a third-party causing me to think that.

Jesus Christians. All religion is cowardice. Wacko nutjobs cowards. That's never, for all practical purposes, going to change. The human race is nothing but weakling cowards. There is still too much baggage from the monkeys who invented their gods. Bible-thumpers are too cowardly to think for themselves and to reject the lies of bible-thumper scam artists. They are cowards terrified of mortality.

Meanwhile, in other news

The black hole at the center of our galaxy just lit up twice as bright as ever. Who knows why

USA TODAY August 14, 2019

Astronomers said that they observed the supermassive black hole closest to Earth glowing with "unprecedented brightness" — and they aren't quite sure why.

The black hole, known as Sagittarius A* or Sgr A*, is 4 million times as massive as the Sun and about 26,000 light-years from Earth. Although no visible light can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, astronomers are able to observe the hot gas that's about to fall into it in near-infrared, the portion of the infrared spectrum closest to light detectable by the human eye.

"So we observed basically four nights of observation this year. On one of the nights, its brightness was about twice as bright as the brightest measurement in the past 20 years," said Tuan Do, an associate research scientist and deputy director of the galactic center group at UCLA, who led the study. "That indicates that perhaps something interesting is happening physically in the region of the black hole."

"Be not frightened," said the alien. "Know that you can escape if need be."

"In college there were pictures of things like you. You've been gone a long time ... or so we thought."

"When my species fled known space, I was not among them," the puppeteer replied. "I remained in known space, for my species had need of me here."

"Where have you been hiding? And where on Earth are we?"

"That need not concern you. Are you Louis Wu MMGREWPLH?"

"You knew that? You were after me, in particular?"

"Yes. We found it possible to manipulate this world's network of transfer booths."

It could be done, Louis realized. It would take a fortune in bribe money, but it could be done. But -- "Why?"

"That will take some explanation --"

"Aren't you going to let me out of here?"

The Puppeteer considered. "I suppose I must. First you should know that I have protection. My armament would stop you should you attack me."

Louis Wu made a sound of disgust. "Why would I do that?"

The puppeteer made no answer.

"Now I remember. You're cowards. Your whole ethical system is based on cowardice."

"Inaccurate as it is, that judgment will serve us."

Sagittarius A*

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-Star", abbreviated Sgr A*) is a bright and very compact astronomical radio source at the center of the Milky Way, near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius. It is likely the location of a supermassive black hole, similar to those generally accepted to be at the centers of most if not all spiral and elliptical galaxies.

History

In November 2004 a team of astronomers reported the discovery of a potential intermediate-mass black hole, referred to as GCIRS 13E, orbiting 3 light-years from Sagittarius A*. This black hole of 1,300 solar masses is within a cluster of seven stars. This observation may add support to the idea that supermassive black holes grow by absorbing nearby smaller black holes and stars.

After monitoring stellar orbits around Sagittarius A* for 16 years, Gillessen et al. estimated the object's mass at 4.31±0.38 million solar masses. The result was announced in 2008 and published in The Astrophysical Journal in 2009. Reinhard Genzel, team leader of the research, said the study has delivered "what is now considered to be the best empirical evidence that super-massive black holes do really exist. The stellar orbits in the Galactic Center show that the central mass concentration of four million solar masses must be a black hole, beyond any reasonable doubt."
