Black Hole Blows Huge Gas Bubble: (BBCNews) htt://news.bbcimg.co.uk
Taken from Martin's Journal, with the Date 7/10/10:
I think the universe was sending us a message when scientists discovered and photographed a huge (1000 light years in diameter) ball of gas emitting from jets of particles streaming from a Black Hole some 12 million light years away from the earth. (My Son referred to it a "space fart"!)
In speaking of the length of the jet, scientists said this: "If the black hole were the size of a soccer ball, it's jets would reach out at a length that extends from from Earth to well beyond the orbit of Pluto.
So what is the universe trying to tell us? Could this have some allegorical connection to the gulf oil spill? A huge ball of gas (both liquid gas and it's associated methane- type airborne gases, the later of which can travel much further than the confines of the waters of the gulf) is emitted and carried a great distance further than we ever imagined it would. As I pondered this possibility, a guide of mine gave me the word "miasma", which I was not aware was even a word. However, when I chose to ignore the strange word and continue with my work, he repeated it once again, with more emphasis. "O.K., O.K." I said, as I reached for my battered and oft referred to dictionary :
Miasma: "(1) Noxious exhalations form putrescent organic matter, poisonous effluvia or germs polluting the atmosphere. (2) a dangerous, foreboding or death-like influence or atmosphere."
Oh God...
I would have preferred not to know this, thanks.
So, my understanding of this term, miasma as it was given to me regarding the Gulf spill, is that some kind of fall out from the noxious, airborne fumes produced after the release of massive amounts of crude oil and chemical dispersant in the Gulf of Mexico may eventually create a dangerous/ poisonous atmosphere that extends far beyond the original spill in the gulf. Sigh...
