Black holes keep 'burping up' stars they destroyed years earlier, and astronomers don't know why
(www.livescience.com)
Because of reasons probably.

It's always goddamn reasons
I hate reasons. They're the reason for everything.
They're the what now

lol gottem
Pretty interesting. Since it's longer radio waves.... maybe matter that falls in at a certain angle orbits very close to the event horizon, and the friction of that matter is able to generate EM waves? The photons maybe also get caught in a shallow angle so it takes them a few years to spin free or it takes a few years for the necessary matter to accumulate in the right orbits?
Sort of a beautiful, tragic image: black holes as the largest cosmic record players, blasting out one final wailing note as the star falls in.
If I read it right, this is like a random, unexpected reprise.
Cosmic record players. I call dibs on the band name
Can someone calculate how much time passes once in a black hole? Perhaps the stars (now just random matter, I assume) only experienced seconds/minutes/days for the years they were engulfed
Scientists have demonstrated "time dilation" in the early universe by studying quasars, supermassive black holes. Using 190 quasars as a cosmic clock, they observed time passing about a fifth as quickly as today, dating back 12.3 billion years. The study compared the brightness fluctuations of ancient quasars to those today, finding a fivefold slowdown.
Don't those black holes also have tentacles or blink perchance?
