As these programs were made before the advent of the space telescope and other information gathering satellites I wonder if they've come closer to an explanation?

[WarrenChu000]

The program was produced in 1978. At that time it was guessed that quasars were probably powered by black holes. Data from the Hubble Space Telescope and other new telescopes since then have enabled more detailed theoretical models of quasars.

nice video, it's quite interesting to see all the different theories you don't hear about anymore, and to see the astronomers and cosmologists still scratching their heads so vigorously. in recent programs you only hear about the super massive black holes and their ion jets, not these other theories.

it's also plain that the astronomers are still not quite ready to completely acknowledge the existence of black holes, offering the alternative of "super massive neutron stars" as well.

"Do you suggest it's an idea of mine..."

No, however the consensus of the experts is that the big bang did occur as does redshift. So if you are claiming otherwise then you are essentially saying you know better than the majority of experts in the field. I am asking you on what basis are you making that claim. Where is your research? where are the papers you have published?

[fabbio8888]

Well there's plenty of papers. Do you suggest it's an idea of mine that there are critics to the cosmological redshift theory?

[artyfarty2]

"I don't agree with the cosmological redshift or the Big Bang"

Why? what research have you done that improves upon the findings of cosmology experts? Perhaps you should publish your scientific paper, and perhaps win the nobel prize.

[fabbio8888]

I don't agree with the cosmological redshift or the Big Bang. But I appreciate the modesty used by thoese researchers that always keep the doubt in their mind. So far from current ideological approach to cosmology. Thanks!

One of the best collections of videos of the universe I have seen!

[BremePanda]

omg they r such a good question. idk... this is good info tho for my quasar/galaxies project!

[badcat1226]

I've heard that black holes pops when there is no longer enough matter to feed them, maybe if a quasar pops it forms a new galaxy; after all, they are billions of light years away, who knows what has happened in that amount of time.
