Is a black hole winking at us?

A Galaxy named 1ES 1927+654 became the object of attention for astronomers when it went through a 40-fold increase in brightness in March 2018.

They started discussing ‘winking black holes’. In this article, we discuss what is meant by that and what is really going on. 

Ordinary no more?

What was thought to be an ordinary black hole at the centre of a galaxy was surprising scientists who turned their telescopes to study it further.

After that initial brightening, the Black Hole then dimmed, getting 10,000 times less bright in less than a year. It has since become brighter again. Hence the idea that it is winking.

Why so fast?

Current orthodox scientists believe that such changes should happen over thousands of years – but this black hole changed by a factor of 100 over the course of eight hours.

One of the foremost theories for what is going on is that a star has collided with the region around the black hole.

Mainstream Scientists believe that a star colliding with the area around a black hole is causing it to ‘wink’.

Mystery Solved

However, by understanding, The Black Hole Principle, the mystery is solved. This predicts that the material ejected from the black hole fluctuates in an unpredictable pattern

The Black Hole Principle

We don’t need to evoke any violent or weird situations to explain this. Already mainstream scientists have told us about the amazing abilities of black holes to burp and gobble and they are now saying that they can wink. 

It’s simply not necessary if you understand the black hole ‘winking’ as a natural consequence of the process at the edge of our reality.
