Reply to comment by mossadnik in ‘We’ve Never Seen Anything Like This Before:’ Black Hole Spews Out Material Years After Shredding Star by mossadnik

Didn’t this star get ripped to shreds 665 million years ago, not in October 2018?

Not really. Our reality is our reference frame. To us this event just happened. To the black hole you won't be born for 665 million years yet here you are.

There is no absolute reference frame.

Yes, technically. But the "Burp" happened 665 million years ago too in that case.
