Wilson (1964); Wilson (1966); Wilson (1969); Wilson's starting - point was the suggestion that the center of Antarctica was at the pressure melting point, see Robin (1962), p. 141, who adds that «one would not expect the ice to surge over a large part of Antarctica at one time»; the role of
frictional heat in ice - sheet instability was pointed out back in 1961 (in partial support of Ewing - Donn theory), drawing on earlier work by G. Bodvarsson, by Weertman (1961).
Its central black hole is as massive as 16 million suns, and the region of space surrounding it shines with the strength of 1 trillion suns — energy derived,
in part, from intense
frictional heating within the disk of gas being sucked into the maw.
