Supermassive Black Holes Can Abort Star Formation
cremeglace writes "Astrophysicists have found that when a supermassive black hole quickly devours gas and dust, it can generate enough radiation to abort all the embryonic stars in the surrounding galaxy. It's not clear what this means for life's ability to take hold in such a bleak environment, but the research shows that the process might have determined the fates of many of the large galaxies in the universe."
Is this even more effective than punching, stairs, or a coat hanger?
How long before Palin comes out against this? I am guessing it would go a little something like: 'Now the 'liberal elites' want us to think that God performs abortions?!'. Then she will follow up with various sentence fragments taken from a 'quote of the day' calendar.

I dunno. Maybe Deepak Chopra has a slashdot account?
I think it's safe to say, if some galactic event is to obliterate the Earth, there's absolutely nothing we can do about it, so why worry?
Although, it might be nice to know if it were happening soon, so we don't have to care about pollution, retirement, cancer, work, school ... and we can all have sex while high on heroin while skydiving with no parachute.
