Re: [scifinoir2] Galactic Supervolcano Erupts From Black Hole

I don't think so, if my supposition that this is a update of info on an already well known phenomenon is true. I don't think this "volcanic" energy is anything that's in the realm of Hawking's theories, but caused by processes that obey standard scientific principles. I don't think in this case,

Right, I'm just saying there's no way Steve Rogers would have been friendly with Nazis, no matter what the public perception and party line was. He was the type of person who'd never have trusted Hitler, who was racist and fanatical from the start. Rogers was ahead of most whites in his time, no

Actually, Martin, is this related to, or exactly the same as, the very well known phenomenon where the collapsing disk of gas around a black hole produces super energetic jets of energy? The jets that are the cause of what we used to call quasars? It seems to be the source of the "volcano" they

Yeah, but Cap was an idealistic, true blue American even before he gained his abilities. Nothing about Hitler's fascist party, its racism, and its obvious lust for power would have allowed him to treat with Nazis even before we went to war with them. After all, many other leaders like Winston Ch

I agree. I was skeptical of the current CGI version, both because I'm not a super fan of CGI (overdone, often average, pushing out traditional animation), and because I was afraid it'd be too juvenile in tone. Tartokovsky's 2D animated version set the bar very high as well. But the current progr
