That’s a relief—I was starting to worry about it.
HTF can something with that gravity just go quiet? U dont “turn off” gravity?
From the article:
J1007+3540 lives inside a massive galaxy cluster filled with extremely hot gas. This environment creates enormous external pressure—far higher than what most radio galaxies experience. As the revived jets push outward, they are bent, squeezed, and distorted by the interaction with the dense medium.
Seems to me that it’s not the black hole itself was turned off and on again, but rather that it’s jet was suppressed by the colossal gravitational (?) pressure of the surrounding galactic core.
Maybe its accretion disk was temporarily depleted?
Stop anthropomorphising black holes. They hate that.
But feral black holes aren’t that exciting to me anymore.
ut-oh
