    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Supermassive black hole violently swallows star

Yeah, if a black hole were nearby, there would be absolutely nothing we could do about it. But I imagine the effects would be felt LONG before it got really close. So it's not like it could sneak up undetected.
 
The Earth will be swallowed by the sun in about 7.4 billion years so just put those black hole worries away ;)

I'm always astonished that scientists, who have been observing the universe for the tiniest most infinitesimal slice of time, can come up with such theories. But I guess their reputations would be little impacted if facts proved them wrong.
 
The whole space thing just boggles my mind. I've read all about black holes and I really don't comprehend it. Another one that blows my mind is how small our sun is compared to the largest star. Literally our sun looks like a grain of sand compared to IT Scuti
