But I take issue with one statement...

"Since these black holes don't know about each other, or have any way of exchanging information or influencing each other directly over such vast scales..."


I wonder how he can be so certain of that. The universe is enormous and who, on our tiny planet, is to say that there is no communication between other intelligent whatevers out there?

Otherwise, this is awesome and reminds me of a micro example in a geologic sense. Most of our minerals contain some form of magnetic elements (basically iron) which, upon formation, were aligned with the planetary magnetic field as it was at that time creating a sort of time stamp on formations.

That this occurs - or is indicated to be so - on a macro scale this huge is truly informative.
