Recent studies of the phenomena of active galactic nuclei are beginning to identify the most likely physical processes involved in the galactic nuclei cores which give rise to a fast moving plasma that emerges in directed beams and energizes radio sources. In particular, the formation of the beams appears to be a generic property of the flow pattern around collapsed objects, where there is a relativistically deep potential well. These beams are relevant to extended radio sources, superluminal variations in compact sources, and the injection of high-energy plasma into the intergalactic medium. There is a physical similarity, and not merely a superficial analogy, between the physical mechanisms of such objects as SS 433 and Sco X-1 and the processes in active galactic nuclei. The exploration of fluid dynamic and electrodynamic effects around black holes is envisaged as a fruitful line of inquiry in the present field of study.
