"These findings are very exciting," said CU-Boulder Associate Professor Jason Glenn, a study co-author. "We not only detected water in the farthest reaches of the universe, but enough to fill Earth's oceans more than 100 trillion times."


The water measurement, together with measurements of other molecules in the vapor source, suggests there is enough gas present for the black hole to grow to about six times its already massive size, said Bradford. Whether it will grow to this size is not clear, however, as some of the gas may end up forming stars instead, or be ejected from the quasar host galaxy in an outflow.

I asked my pastor about this. He confirmed it so it has to be true.

If we do find people there we need to have a plan of how to deal with them.

First, we need to convert them to our faith.
Next, sell them weapons,
Finally, We need to open lots of McDonalds there.

I agree. We don't know. A lot of things can happen over the course of 12 billion years. We're just seeing the light from it as it was 12 billion years ago.

So, some of this water may actually be here, I think the earth was bombarded with comets,etc somewhere between 12 and 16 billion yrs ago.

Now, let me get this straight.Traveling at TSOS (186,000 MPS) it would take 12 billion yrs to reach this "cosmic oasis" ??

The earth didn't exist until approximately 4.6 billion years ago.
