THE ENIGMATIC POWER OF QUASARS
The vast expanse of the universe resembles an empty ocean, dotted with rare islands known as galaxies. However, this perception is deceiving. Only a small fraction of all atoms reside within galaxies, while the majority drift in the intergalactic medium, the space between them. Like the roots of a massive tree, gas extends from each galaxy, pulled by gravity to replenish the dense cosmic forest. Within this intergalactic medium lie the building blocks of creation: hydrogen and helium, intricately woven into sheets and filaments that flow into galaxies, eventually giving birth to stars. Yet, upon closer examination, we discover the true architects of the cosmos: quasars, the most powerful entities in existence. Despite being as minuscule as grains of sand in comparison to the mighty Amazon River, quasars reside at the centres of some galaxies, emanating a radiance equivalent to a trillion stars. They emit tremendous jets of matter, reshaping the universe itself and possessing the ability to extinguish entire galaxies.
