The largest super-massive black hole (blazar S5 0014+81) compared to our Solar System

This is cool and all but it is a bit misleading.

The Schwarzschild Radius of a 40GM object is around 790AU, the orbit of Neptune is around 30AU. I'm sure the volume that the object can effect is beyond massive, but the "size" of a SMBH is defined by the point at which not even light can escape, the Schwarzschild Radius.

Still a Schwarzschild Radius of over 26 times the size of Neptune's orbit is insane.

Just trying to keep this ID separate from my regular ID.

Nothing too dodgy, DL a book or two and get some movies. I'm too busy and not interested in the really dodgy stuff.

But I am very interested in the right to privacy and how we as a society have effectively given it up for the convenience of online shopping.
