This document discusses super massive black holes. It begins with definitions of black holes and explanations of escape velocity and Schwarzschild radius. It then discusses how normal sized black holes form from massive stars undergoing supernovas. The document suggests that super massive black holes could exist in the centers of massive galaxies and may have formed from early universe "lumps" or grown over time through mergers. Active galactic nuclei and quasars are believed to be powered by super massive black holes. Optical jets, tidal forces, and cannibalism are characteristics of active galactic nuclei. The fate of the universe is speculated to be a cold dark death as all black holes evaporate over immense timescales.
