is a black hole stationary?

Question

does a black hole stay in one place or does it move

Answer 1

Yeah In fact every thing in this universe is moving. Acc. to the big bang theory right from the beginning of this universe , it is expanding so everything (including black holes) is moving.

Answer 2

Not really sure ....
Our observation time is relatively small, but there are some indications for the "move".

" Repeated gravitational interactions with other stars are thought to cause the black hole systems to spiral inward toward the Galactic Center region. "

Answer 3

A black hole may be created by concentrating the mass of a very large star into a tiny point (singularity). Its movements will remain the same as the massive star it was derived from, which may be to orbit about the center of its galaxy. Interestingly, when applying the inverse square laws of gravitational attraction we mathematically concentrate the mass of a sun, planet or star into a tiny point.

Answer 4

Black holes can flow like different large gadgets in the universe. in the journey that they collide they sort one black hollow of more suitable mass. If 2 sort heavily they are going to probable collide, even with the actuality that gravitational charm, till they're spinning about one yet another sufficiently quickly to be held aside through 'centripetal' rigidity. If this kind of grows more suitable that would want to sluggish it down so that they collide. that's typically meant black holes exist now, yet that is evidence & idea - no longer direct statement.

Answer 5

a black hole is stationary the things around it are the only things that move and the only time it moves is when it gets bigger

Answer 6

According to recent physics (Which actually... changes a lot) everything is moving away from everything else... so no.

If everything is drifting away, then things must move to change from being ONE distance away from everything else, to a FURTHER distance from everything else.

No PROOF has been acquired to wether or not black holes even EXIST, (plenty of EVIDENCE) but if they do, they would follow the same rule.

Answer 7

they move... pretty fast actually.

for example... most astrophysicists nowadays agree that there seems to be a huge black hole in the center of our galaxy, maybe of every galaxy.

and since the galaxy moves, relative to others, forming galactic heaps and superheaps... it has to move with the rest of the galaxy... or maybe, the rest of the galaxy moves with it.

Answer 8

definition: An area of space-time with a gravitational field so intense that its escape velocity is equal to or exceeds the speed of light.

As black holes are unobservable, it is very hard to tell

But in my own opinion, i think that a black hole is stationary.

Answer 9

nobody actually knows but the scientists have discoverd that there are black holes in galaxies and they swallow the objects in the space. i think the objects are the ones to be moving.

Answer 10

i think no one can tell because the blackhole never gives out any information. its top secret. the only things we can see are the events hapeening at its edge. once inside the black hole things get absurd.
