There is no proof that a black hole resides at the center of the milky way.
A black hole is just a theoretical entity to begin with.
Recent proffered proof is a desperate attempt to establish it as a fact.
The apparent tracking of stars in elliptical orbits around the center would take eons to establish.
Orbits of this type would destroy a star before it could complete an orbit.

Astronomers have proven that there is not only one black hole but there are actually as much as 10 thousand located just in the center alone.
