Beautiful image from MeerKAT. FYI this is an hour glass shape, not two boomerangs. It is a common formation, commonly misinterpreted . It is more frequently noticed in plantary nebula but exists in the galactic scale as well. It is a plasma phenomenon that can be reproduced down here on earth.
Have a look here https://spaceweathernews.com/plasma/Please explain the plasma processes that can create an hourglass shape at galactic scales. Things you can demonstrate at centimeter scales don't do well when you extrapolate them to galactic scales. You probably know that electromagnetic field falls off as 1/r^3, right?
Ok, I am probably stupid, but I can't find the answer on how plasma processes create an hourglass shape at galactic scales in that rambling mess of misinformation you linked to. Could you be more specific, please?Have a look here https://spaceweathernews.com/plasma/

Now you've asked the question you are sure to find the answer, hopefully this is not beneath you

I'd call it 4 bursts, and assume a wobbling (precessing?) SMBH. The longest is the oldest; the "boomerang" is second oldest; the bright bulges just outside the galaxy is the 3rd oldest (second newest); and the white hourglass in the center is the newest. So, 4 stars eaten at 4 different times. (As the intergalactic medium is apparently sparse, it is unlikely to push back on anything. It may slow a burst over time, assuming merely cumulative inertial effects. But "pushback" would require massive magnetic field interactions or extremely long term gravitic pulling.)
Interesting idea. However, as I understand it, precession occurs when poles describe a circle on the surface of a sphere containing the field. As a black hole by definition has no surface. the precession needs to happen at a the event horizon level, with a strong, ordered magnetic field doing the "wobbling." If that is the case, this would be a SMBH equivalent of a magnetar. Interesting thought.
I'm just a car mechanic mate, but if you liked that stuff you will just love Douglas B Vogt (the Torah/Toroid guy) or even take another look at Immanuel Velikovsky, unfortunately the global outcomes are/have been fairly catastrophic so it may well be a waste of time....https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjBe55XpYzc0HzkK-8lgQtA/videosAgain, none of these things can even remotely explain a galactic scale hourglass shaped emission. Neither you, nor @Nick Wilmhurst have demonstrated anything close to what you claim can explain the observation. Like most charlatans, you both jump in and claim your pet "theory" can explain anything. However, when challenged, all you have are vague wikipedia articles and hilariously wrong YouTube videos. Typical.
OK Ruined. I would be sorry for the late reply, but I wasn't looking for a reply. As I said "FYI". It is not up to me to explain to you what you can't see. I am fully aware how EM field power falls off. 1/r^3 is for an omnidirectional source of electromagnetic energy. The universe is not an omnidirectional em source. The universe is an infinite space filled with many things such as ionized atoms. An ionized atom doesn't care what the ionized atoms at the other side of a galaxy are doing. It need only sense what is beside it. This is directional and close. I don't have time to explain to you how this works to form a larger system with an hourglass shape. You will need to read the vague wikipedia article, then read more about the research done by the person it was about, then read about the research done by countless others. You will have to spend more time learning, and less time insulting people on the internet. You are the charlatan with the pet theory.Please explain the plasma processes that can create an hourglass shape at galactic scales.
