...was found at the center of out galaxy. Ours is the size of a few million suns, which is quite large for black holes. A find like this could help us to explain matter and the origins of the the universe. I've always felt that there wasn't just one Big Bang, but a series of them that still continues. What the biggest telescope can see, I think is just the edge of our universe and there are billions of universe's out there. There are also universe's that are smaller than you can see that make up the larger universe's and it's all tied together with string. This article helps "tie" it together.

That reminds me of a story a former boss told me. He did some acid in the 70's and spent the weekend writing down the solutions to all the problems in the world. He said he had figured out everything and wrote pages and pages of stuff. He put it away and found it a few years later. He said NONE of it made any sense. He said his theories were so stupid and he had even drawn some type of symbols to represent a higher knowledge. Wish he had of kept it.

I saw a program on PBS awhile back and they were talking about this same thing. That there is a black hole at the center of our galaxy. They also said there was most likely black holes at the center of most galaxies.
They also said that our galaxy is on a collision course with another galaxy, but that won't happen for another billion years or so.
I too have also thought that there may have possibly been more than one big bang, little bangs or pops.
In reality the scientists, physisists(sp) and astronomers do not know what the ultimate fate of the universe is. The 2 working theories are that the universe will continue outward and eventually burn out in 15 to 20 billion years or more or that the universe will implode on itself, the big crunch and then maybe bigbang all over again.
Here's a profound thought for you to contemplate. Question; What was there BEFORE the big bang? Answer; There was no BEFORE!
