Cool, and absolutely terrifying.
Sibling comments are questioning this.
But ...
what if the black hole's orbit around the sun isn't something approximately circular?
What if the orbit resembles a long-period comet? Highly elliptical? What if it puts in an appearance near the sun every 100,000 years? How would we know? What in the historical record could we study?
- QuesnayJr 6y agoThey have a pretty good idea of what the orbit would look like to explain the eccentric orbits of TNOs. It's not circular, but it's not that eccentric: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Nine#/media/File:Planet_nine-etnos_now-new3.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Nine#/media/File:Planet...
- LoSboccacc 6y agosomehow it never occurred to me that black hole could actually orbit what does it mean for the event horizon to move one side is fairly predictable as space gets swallowed as the black hole advances but the space at the rear side would just sort of pop out of the event horizon or be stretched from the previous position what would happen to the space behind a black hole moving at relativistic speed? Bet there some paper I cannot understand about it somewhere
