Black Holes May Not Grow Beyond Certain Limit

xyz writes "Do black holes increase in size indefinitely? According to an analysis by astronomers at Yale and the European Southern Observatory, the maximum size a black hole may reach is only few tens of billion of solar masses. The limit was calculated using an analysis of what may happen to the gas surrounding a black hole which has reached few tens of billions of solar masses. It is thought that black holes of such size heat the surrounding gas to a temperature where the radiation pressure begins blowing outer layers into space."

The fact that somebody committed suicide over a trivial happening indicates that they were suffering from a disease of the mind.

Suicide in terms of protecting a loved one is bravery, as is the solder who does the same for their comrades. It is questionable if it is acceptable to do so if they are end-term on a horrific disease, due to the chance of recovery.

Are you sure?

I have a larger black hole larger than that, the one that our politicians and financial people are.
That black hole sucked all of our money (the key word here is OUR money) in.
