But the universe has a way of dispensing with “shouldn’t.” Case in point: Scientists have now observed an ancient black hole named LID-568 that is devouring matter at 40 times its Eddington limit. <br><a href="https://www.404media.co/this-black-hole-is-eating-so-much-matter-that-it-defies-known-science/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/this-black-hole-is</span><span class="invisible">-eating-so-much-matter-that-it-defies-known-science/</span></a></p>
