THE MODI QUESTION - March 7, 2023, Imran Dawood, Yusuf Dawood, Dr. Aakashi Bhatt, daughter of Sanjiv Bhatt, incarcerated police officer, Ashish Khetan
After the BBC aired a two-part documentary entitled "India: The Modi Question" on Jan. 17, the Indian government used its emergency powers to ban it from being aired in the country. Modi's government also forced Twitter and YouTube to block the documentary in India. The BBC documentary examines Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots when he was chief minister of the western Indian state. During the riots, 1000s of predominantly Muslim Indians were killed, many were raped, and Muslim establishments were set on fire. The Indian Supreme Court exonerated Modi in 2012 of wrongdoing, but the British Foreign Office produced an unpublished report claiming Modi was "directly responsible" for enabling the impunity of violence

DART: The Double Asteroid Redirection Test - Protecting Earth from Planetary Impacts - Andrew Cheng & Andrew Rivkin - JHU Applied Physics Laboratory     Cosmos Club Oct 7, '22    MIKE's QUESTION on How long before Earth impact would that size spacecraft have had to hit it, IF it was on a collision course with Earth... to MISS IT? UTube Video - @ 1:26:35 to 1:30 - fm excellent NAS video     The impact is pretty impressive, increasing the brightness 10x and blowing off a shell of gas that might be some of the 50kg of propellant left- or the vaporized nut-roll asteroid! This 550 ft asteroid Dimorphos was about the size of the Great Pyramid, and would put a world of hurt on Earth if it hit us, probably killing hundreds of millions from tsunamis. There are maybe 20,000 NEOs that size ... just in 2020-21 6000 new NEA's have been found!
The Chelyabinsk rock would have killed 600K people had it detonated at 2 miles, rather than 25 miles (in a vacuum) & it was only 60 ft wide! The head-on DART impact was 4 mps and 1300 kg, maybe they could increase the weight 10x and speed 2-3x for a real deflector

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES AT THE CENTERS OF GALAXIES- Accretion, Dynamical Interactions, Galaxy Evolution, and Cosmic History - Shobita Satyapal Department of Physics and Astronomy - George Mason University     PSW- Cosmos Club June 17, '22   
QUESTION on SIMILARITIES of SMBHs, each Billions of Solar Masses- @ 1:23:40 to 1:26 - PSW video
Actually her answer just before is spectacular, turns out SMBHs blast out jets from the poles, like pulsars, that are the hugest thing in the universe, blasting out galaxies of material in a matter of minutes or hours! Note this is not SMBH material, which is lost forever below the event horizon, but from the viciously rotating accretion disk which is accelerated to millions of degrees near the speed of light. That is what the new ring images of BH's are of- that radiating material before annihilation, many light-years in diameter. The scale of all this stuff is mind-boggling. SMBH's are present in the center of (most?) galaxies.
