This time-lapse movie of an extragalactic jet was assembled from 20 years of Hubble Space Telescope observations of the core of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3862.

Something of an understatement "time lapse of 20 years"!

This looks like the cops are trying to pull me over in the fog of an old black and white movie.

Think about it.. this is the last true frontier known to man, space of uncertainty that we have yet to walk upon, full of vistas that we have yet to see through our own eyes. This will be part of our empire one day.

It is a Startreck escape: "Get us out of here Scotty!"

I didn't see a futuristic alien space jet somebody lied to us! 😡

So its somewhat similar to a magnetic plasma loop that the Sun sometimes creates, and shoots out at whatever it wants?

What if all of this matter escaping from the black hole is the receiving end of something that went into the black hole? Technically it is but, what if the participants are still in one piece and its just taking them light years to come back together.

You can see the black hole, its pulsating getting bigger and smaller. What is the cause and affect of that?

If my conclusion is correct that means Time/Space travel is real. Just not possible for us yet.
No question is ever a dumb question. please be nice
