I guess one of the questions that have to be answered is where does the electricity come from to power that galaxy, to put it bluntly.

It clearly comes from the center of the galaxy at the galactic core.
I dont believe that is a blackhole at the center when the paper clearly indicates a continuous flow of protons and neutrons OUTWARD.


"A Persistent High-Energy Flux from the Heart of the Milky Way : Integral's view of the Galactic Center"
"These observations lend crucial support to the idea that acceleration of particles to very high energies is taking place at the gc (Crocker et al. 2005). Furthermore, all of them agree on the apparent absence of variability from the central source. "

"The matter content of the jet in M87: evidence for an electron-positron jet."
"Our results strongly suggest the jet to be dominated by an electron-positron (pair) plasma. Although our conservative constraints cannot conclusively dismiss an electron-proton plasma, the viability of this solution is extremely vulnerable to further tightening of VLBI surface brightness limits."

And as you can see they have traced the Birkland currents back to the center of the galaxies.

"NASA's Chandra finds black holes stirring up galaxies."
"We found the distribution of hot gas has no correlation with the optical shape," Diehl said. "Something is definitely making a mess there, and pumping energy equivalent to a supernova every century into the gas."

Although supernovae are a possible energy source, a more probable cause was identified. The scientists detected a correlation between the shape of the hot gas clouds and the power produced at radio wavelengths by high-energy electrons. This power output can be traced back to the centers of the galaxies, where super-massive black holes are located. "

Duh.
