Black holes have intrigued me and also many other scientists for decades. I had always thought that matter, when reaching the event horizon (the distance from the center of the black hole from which light cannot escape but is pulled in to the center) was the defined line where incoming matter, dust and anything else, reaches the speed of light and is converted to energy. But this is not the case. It is simply the line where light cannot escape and is what makes a black hole black. Many molecular and atomic bonds are broken at the tremendously stressed disc zone causing a huge release of observable energy.

The accretion disc rotating around the black hole is matter being pulled in at right angles to the center axis of the black hole. In mature black holes jets of matter are ejected out each pole of the axis at incredible velocities. Some are extremely long and even show peculiar possibilities that maybe some of the matter was going faster than the speed of light.

It is my theory that, first of all, black holes have a maximum size and secondly that when this size is reached all the incoming matter is routed to an axial pathway out of the galaxy always at right angles to the spiral plane. Any larger body such as a star crashing into the black hole at this time would be ripped to dust and atomic particles, which are then blasted out each axis into space.

Galaxies with lots of dust clouds may be examples of completed black hole cycles where most or all the matter of a galaxy was processed through the central black hole and out into space where gravity eventually pulled it all back into a central swirl making new stars starting the cycle all over again. Matter is not created or destroyed, just recycled.

I believe it will be discovered that all galaxies with large amounts of dust and gas such as our Milky Way and the Pinwheel Galaxy will be found to harbor super massive black holes.
