I have only just noticed this but if the Forerunner built enough Halos to cover the entire galaxy (13 if they had the same range as the halo in the game) they must have encountered the large black hole that is in the centre of every galaxy. These black holes are constantly eating up stars rich in energy from fission and fusion and they release all the energy they take in in a concentrated beam of energy. if the forerunner have encountered this how did they avoid its gravitational pull and subsequentially the great beam of energy that results from it. there are several records from black holes like RXJ 1242-1119 in the centre of another galaxy which can spew out more energy than all of the stars in our galaxy put together and timesed by a thusand. can Forerunners be powerful enought to survive this?
and what if there was a quasar? (turns energy from black holes in to radiation) it would be powerful to destroy life and change elements for millions of lightyears.

Forerunners have mastered Anti-gravity. If it works on principles similar to magnetics even a minute anti-gravitic field would create a repulsive reaction of a magnitude cemmensurate with the proximity.

Who knows, perhaps the secret to the forerunner's power is that singular stream of energy. Maybe they've harnessed that in some fashion to power their endevours.

thats a good point what if the forerunner grew to their powerful state from taking unlimited energy from blackholes and maybe thats how the halos became so powerful
