Remember the days of Planet Hulk?

When the Illuminati dropped the Hulk in a Black Hole/wormhole thing, to get rid of him?

Do you think they may have just done it again? From the Daily Mail…

According to the laws of physics, the speed of light is a fundamental barrier that cannot be broken – nothing is supposed to be able to travel faster than it.

So astronomers were left baffled when they spotted powerful flashes of energy bursting out from the heart of a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy 260 million light years from Earth.

Measurements of this gamma ray 'lightning' showed it was travelling across the event horizon – the boundary where nothing can escape the intense gravity of the black hole – at rates that appeared to be faster than the speed of light.

While the gamma rays appeared to cross the event horizon within just a few minutes, scientists estimate it should have taken light 25 minutes to pass through the distance.

This either suggests the gamma rays were travelling faster than the speed of light, or something else was going on.

Now, researchers believe they have gained a rare insight into something that is taking place below the event horizon of the black hole – giving them a glimpse of what may be going on inside.

Yeah, someone dropped a Hulk in there. Again.
