Sweet now I can park my car somewhere

If it's billions of light years away, doesn't that also mean that it may have changed since then...meaning, it's probably not a vacuous hole anymore? A lot can happen in a billion light years. Lame.

Originally posted by Omega_M These finding demonstrates the ability of our technology to make observations and take measurements of events and objects that are billions of light years away from us. It is the same technology that will eventually enter into the commercial industry and make your life even more easy. Not only that, but in quest of further understanding of this phenomenon, a sizable chunk of the research industry comprising of high technology companies, universities and students will benefit monetarily from these observations.

somehow i doubt that the range a telescope can view will help my future. yet i can see the benefits of studying space components and theories of space. thats the reason i put it in italics.

Yes. It could have disappeared by now. Or it might have gotten much bigger, for all we know.

So then, lame?

Not necessarily. The hole might have gotten much bigger since then, for all we know. One of the explanations for the hole's size is that more mass-dense parts of the universe are "sucking" all the matter away from the less-dense parts bordering the hole.

Yeah, I took integrated science last year. My professor actually did a neat demonstration to help understand that concept. The old, "tennis ball in the mesh screen representing the fabric of the universe" trick.

in that case, everything is relatively lame

if X = lameness Y = time Z = hole size

Z x Y = X

yeah I think that's about right

It's the technology that will enter into the commercial industry, not the end product. New type of electronics, algorithms, materials, optics etc that was developed for this particular application will eventually find a commercial use elsewhere. So much of the NASA technology is in the commercial domain now. It does not mean that people are using NASA rockets to fly around.
