So cool! A little black hole orbiting a bigger black hole with the weight of 18 billion suns all packed into a tiny dimensionless points that's tearing apart the fabric of space and time for light years in all directions! Sounds like one of the most interesting places in the universe! Can we please send a spaceship and can I please get a seat on board? I don't mind waiting 3.5 billion years to get there--I need to catch up on some reading anyway.
