NASA Galaxy Hunter: Huge Black Holes Stifle Star Formation

Supermassive black holes in some giant galaxies create such a hostile
environment, they shut down the formation of new stars, according to
NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer findings published in the August 24
issue of Nature.

The orbiting observatory surveyed more than 800 nearby elliptical
galaxies of various sizes. An intriguing pattern emerged: the more
massive, or bigger, the galaxy, the less likely it was to have young
stars. Because bigger galaxies are known to have bigger black holes,
astronomers believe the black holes are responsible for the lack of
youthful stars.


So, the bigger the Black Hole, the more matter it
'presumably' *ate*, but the more stars are around it?

Are you guys really scientists? (If the
answer is 'yes', then perhaps you are
really, really *dumb* scientists.)

How about this: the bigger
the atom the more protons it has (bigger
'black hole'), and the more electrons it
has (bigger galaxy).

Makes more sense; more stars (electron matter) the
bigger the nucleus.
