β¨A feeding black hole has an accretion disk surrounding it. This is a very extreme environment, and creates intense magnetic fields around the black hole. These magnetic fields funnel high energy particles into a narrow jet travelling at close to the speed of light, erupting from above and below the black hole. These jets can be so long that their length can exceed the host galaxyβs diameterβ¨

β¨The defining feature of every black hole is the so called "event horizon". Event horizon is a surface in space-time that marks a point of no return, and once an object crosses this surface, it cannot return to the other sideβ¨

Quark Matter
β¨Quark matter is an extremely dense phase of matter made up of subatomic particles called quarks. This theoretical phase would occur at extremely high temperatures and densities. It may exist at the heart of neutron stars. It can also be created for brief moments in particle colliders on Earth, such as CERN's large hadron colliderβ¨
