    I can’t even fathom something like this. There’s so much energy involved. Can you imagine how bright matter around the black hole is? And there’s people who believe reaching relativistic speeds will be possible soon…

      Black holes aren’t luminous except when matter is falling into the event horizon. So unless one of these was tearing through a nebula we probably wouldn’t see it.
