There's no real limit, since you can just keep dumping stuff in forever. There is however a soft limit that the stuff has to be close enough to get dumped in, and this one is extremely old so we aren't sure where it got its mass from!
- taylodl 4y agoAu contraire! There's plenty of mass to feed such a black hole, the real question is "when you run things backward" in the lambda-CDM model why isn't the entire universe a black hole? Or why wouldn't it be the case that there wasn't a primordial mega star that quickly (in universal time) collapsed into a supermassive black hole and the remnants of the supernova is the mass of the remainder of the universe and form the CMB radiation?
- michannne 4y agoThis is a cool idea I've never heard before. The universe we're in is the result of a cosmically massive star going supernova.
