I don't quite understand the results of this calculation.
It says that the black hole in question sucked up everything within 2 lightyears, and then released that energy, which resulted in something on the order of 10^50 tons of TNT. However, 2 lightyears usually only covers 1 solar system's worth of matter to absorb, so I don't understand how it could end up with almost galaxy level energy? It seems extremely counter-intuitive.
Could the calculation group (and other well-informed members) please take a look at if this seems correct? Thank you.
