50 Billion Suns! -The Biggest Black Hole in the Universe

  Scientists have determined the mass of the largest things that could possibly exist in our universe.  New results have placed an upper limit on the current size of black holes – and at fifty billion suns it’s pretty damn big.  That’s a hundred thousand tredagrams, and you’ll never get the chance to use that word in relation to anything else. Black holes are regions of space where matter is so dense that regular physics just breaks down.  You might think physical laws are immutable – you can’t get out of gravitational attraction the same way you can get out of a speeding ticket – but beyond a certain level laws which determine how matter is regulated are simply overloaded and material is crushed down into something that’s less an object and more a region of altered space
