Two very important caveats here: 1. The detection of dimethyl sulphide, which is indicative of simple lifeforms such as phytoplankton, was very preliminary and must be confirmed on subsequent observations. 2. Due to the stupendous nature of the discovery of alien life, the JWST cannot confirm...

Messier 106 is the poster child for wobbly jets, especially in the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared images. It appears that at least 2 SMBHs have active jets:

What do you think of the idea that a BH's jets get a gravity boost from low gravity at the center of a BH? I know it sounds sketchy, but it works something like this: Gravity, which is a manifestation of continuously unfolding time and space curving around static mass, which we experience as...

I'm sure the intense electromagnetic currents have an important effect on the distribution of mass within the accretion disc and the relativistic jets. It has been observed that the jets revolve in the same direction as the accretion disc and I believe that's an important clue. I wish we could...

The section describing Black Hole Diet is illogical and doesn't conform to BH observations; particularly this quote; "But, if the electromagnetic radiation emitted from around a black hole in the form of jets is intense enough, it physically pushes material away." The relativistic jets are...
