Black hole jets switch on at 2% of maximum feeding — every size, same rule
Researchers analyzing twenty events where stars were torn apart by black holes found a universal trigger for relativistic jets. The rule — 2% of the Eddington limit — applies across twelve orders of m

8/11 Here's the cosmic catch: it's actually rare for anything to fall into a black hole.
Most material forms an "accretion disk" that heats to millions of degrees. This creates the "Eddington limit" — how fast a black hole can eat without "vomiting it back out."
