This Black Hole Is Eating So Fast It Breaks the Laws of Physics

This black hole has an appetite so big, it breaks the laws of physics. Go to https://groundnews.com/astrum to stay fully informed on the latest Space and Science news.

But a newly discovered black hole might hold the key. LID-568 has been spotted breaking the Eddington Limit, consuming matter faster than physics should allow. Could this discovery rewrite the story of our early universe? Correction: 12:08 We're sorry, the black hole has swallowed one of our media files! ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Astrum's newsletter has launched!
