  Black Mass
However, the fl mass as a celebration of homage to satan, or the antichirst, is a relatively modern activity.
The magical significance of the fl mass rests in the belief that the holy mass involves the miracle of the subtantation, that is the magical or mystical changing of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
The peak for the fl mass was reached in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV, who was accused of being lenient toward witches and sorcerers.

 Black Holes - Crystalinks
Black holes require the general relativistic concept of a curved spacetime: their most striking properties rely on a distortion of the geometry of the space surrounding them.
The "surface" of a fl hole is the so-called event horizon, an imaginary surface surrounding the mass of the fl hole.
Supermassive fl holes containing millions to billions of solar masses could also form wherever a large number of stars are packed in a relatively small region of space, or by large amounts of mass falling into a "seed" fl hole, or by repeated fusion of smaller fl holes.

 Black Mass - Satanic Mass
The Black Mass is a magical ceremony and inversion or parody of the Catholic Mass that was indulged in ostensibly for the purpose of mocking God and worshipping the devil; a rite that was said to involve human sacrifice as well as obscenity and blasphemy of horrific proportions.
The celebrant wore a long fl cloak devoid of the customary cross, and his assistants were two girls; while a slice of turnip, fl (either stained or putrid), was used instead of consecrated bread.
Definition: A Black Mass is a parody of the Catholic mass sometimes practiced by wealthy opponents of the Church in the Dark Ages.

 SPACE.com -- Black Holes May Be Seeds from Which Galaxies Grow
The detection of the fl holes, and analysis of their characteristics suggest an answer to the riddle of which came first, the fl hole or the galaxy, said University of Michigan astronomer Douglas Richstone, who leads the team of astronomers that found the objects.
The three new fl holes support an earlier argument that the mass of fl holes in the centers of galaxies are strongly correlated with the overall mass of the galaxies where they reside, he said.
Nagar and Wilson concluded that the fl holes in the center of the galaxies must be the dying remnants of quasars that are accreting material at a much slower rate than they did in their youthful vigor in the early epochs of the universe.

 Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Black hole survey sheds light on galaxy formation
Astronomers are concluding that monstrous fl holes weren't simply born big but instead grew on a measured diet of gas and stars controlled by their host galaxies in the early formative years of the universe.
Black holes in the centers of giant galaxies, some tipping the scale at over one billion solar masses, were so engorged with infalling gas they once blazed as quasars, the brightest objects in the cosmos.
But fl holes could not be confidently detected in a broad sample of galaxies until Hubble came along with the precise accuracy to measure the velocity of matter trapped close into the fl hole and "weigh" its mass.

 Modeling a Black Hole   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Loosely speaking, a fl hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull.
Black holes are the evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun.
Since fl holes are small (only a few to a few tens of kilometers in size), and light that would allow us to see them cannot escape, a fl hole floating alone in space would be hard, if not impossible, to see.

 The Black Commentator - Cover Story: Mass Incarceration and Rape - Issue 95
Mass incarceration is by far the greatest crisis facing Black America, ultimately eclipsing all others.  It is an overarching reality that colors and distorts every aspect of African American political, economic and cultural life, smothering the human — and humane — aspirations of the community.
It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and a third of the fl males between 18 and 30 are in jails and prisons, on parole or probation.
Many of the same Black opinion-molders who ignored (or even encouraged) the state’s criminalization of entire neighborhoods, in favor of celebrating the escape of people like themselves from these neighborhoods, now express shock at the crudity, violence and raw aggression of some hip hop performers’ on- and off-stage behavior.

 Chandra :: Field Guide to X-ray Sources :: Mid-mass Black Holes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
It is not known whether they formed in the initial collapse of the gas cloud that formed the galaxy, or from the gradual growth of a stellar mass fl hole, or from the merger of a centrally located cluster of fl holes, or by some other mechanism.
mass of a stellar fl hole can be deduced by observing the orbital acceleration of a star as it orbits its unseen companion.
When orbital acceleration cannot be used to establish the mass of a fl hole, astronomers can place a lower limit on its mass by measuring the X-ray luminosity due to matter falling into a fl hole.

 Black Holes
However, if a fl hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, or is close to another "normal" star, the fl hole can accrete matter into itself.
Once the mass is found, it can be determined if the candidate is a neutron star or a fl hole, since neutron stars always have masses of about 1.5 times the mass of the sun.
Since 7 solar masses is too large to be a white dwarf or neutron star, it must be a fl hole.

At the Black Mass he is invariably present, virtually at least, in the symbolism of the ritual, in the significance of the invocations.
The locale of the Black Mass was frequently some dank deep spacious cellar, hidden from profane eyes where the foul parody of Christian ritual might be performed without hindrance or interruption from constituted authorities.
At such rituals the atmospheric aura of purposeful maleficence is heightened, among the celebrants, by the subtle use of fl: fl wine and fl candles, while the sense of impalpable yet potent evil is intensified by the clamorous demoniac falsifications, by the acknowledgment of alien allegiance, Satanic loyalties.

 Astronomers Measure Mass Of Smallest Black Hole In A Galactic Nucleus
NGC 4395 appears to be special, because the fl hole in the center of the galaxy is much smaller than those found in other active galaxies, explained Ari Laor, professor of astronomy at the Technion, in Haifa, Israel, and Brad Peterson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State.
While astronomers have found much evidence of fl holes that are larger than a million solar masses or smaller than a few tens of solar masses, they haven't found as many midsize fl holes -- ones on the scale of hundreds or thousands of solar masses.
This is the first time astronomers have been able to measure the mass of the fl hole in NGC 4395, and confirm that it is indeed smaller than others of its kind.

 The Black Mass
For example, Aleister Crowley's Gnostic Mass doesn't involve prayers to Satan or any of the cruder anti-Christian blasphemies traditionally associated with the Black Mass, but it is another creative variation on the Catholic Mass and does borrow key elements from the classic stereotypical Black Mass, such as the (preferably nude) woman on the altar.
Due to that growth, it seems likely that there may be a revival of interest in the Black Mass in the near future, on the part of both Satanists and anti-Satanists.

If too much mass is packed into too small a volume, so that the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light, its surface gravity is so strong that the object will collapse under its own weight, and form a fl hole.
For a given force that keeps a mass moving in a circular orbit (like the string or the Sun keeping the planets in orbit), the farther away you get from the source of the force, the smaller the force is, and the slower the objects in orbit move.

 X-Rays Signal Presence Of Elusive Intermediate-Mass Black Hole
The size of the disk is related to the mass of the fl hole, so more massive fl holes are expected to vary over longer periods.
Independent observations of a wide range of fl hole X-ray sources with masses ranging from ten to tens of millions solar masses have revealed a relationship between the time scale of quasi-periodic oscillations and the mass of the underlying fl hole.
The leading theories under consideration are that intermediate-mass fl holes form as dozens or even hundreds of fl holes merge in the center of a dense star cluster, or that they are the remnant nuclei of small galaxies that are in the process of being absorbed by a larger galaxy.
