And that's very exotic and more like gravitational people deal with it. So, what I deal with is what happens, okay... jet has been pushed out by this narrow region they're moving very very fast because of the gravity because only very fast objects can come out of that kind of gravitational pull right so we need them to be moving near the speed of light for them to come out So this is why a black hole or something close to it is necessary because you need something that has an escape velocity close to the speed of light, basically.
