Assignment 21- Genghis Goodman

At this very moment, somewhere in the universe there is a black hole moving at millions of miles per hour. I know what you're thinking, a black hole couldn't possibly move, let alone move fast. That's what I thought, and unfortunately I was wrong. A team led by an astrophysicist named Francesca Civano discovered said black hole to have been ejected out of its galaxy at 3 million miles per hour due to a collision. Based on this observation they have hypothesized that there are other unknown black holes like this one. That's right, other unknown balls of such incredible gravitation force they suck up light itself are out there traveling at millions of miles an hour, if you want to imagen how fast that is you can try to- actually you can't try, that is way too fast for the human mind to comprehend. If you want to try to understand the size of a black hole you... can't comprehend that either. So in conclusion, at this very moment, somewhere in the universe there are UNDISCOVERED masses of inconceivable size and descrustion traveling at speeds just as unthinkable. Yep, the universe is pretty cool. And scary. Mostly scary.
