Have you notice that near the center of the block hole we see that an orange star do not speed up where all the others do? such star spins way up and far out to the right from the BH spot that is a thing that do not match with a BH at the galaxie centre but instead a STREAM OF LIGHT-MATTER OUT PUT just like we see in some other galaxies.

i think we are seeing things as they are right now. we cant prove that light doesnt travel one speed in one direction then instantly in another. its entirely possible we are looking at things as they are right now, .

How are black holes affected by dark matter? Can they feed on dark matter as they do normal matter? Great lecture!!!

Can someone point me to a lecture where I can understand how the speed of light is the limit? I am not a physicist so if it is simple it will be great.
